We've been honored with the "Best International Leisure & Hospitality Advisory" award by EU Business News for the second consecutive year, recognizing our expertise in resort and hospitality asset advisory.

We are proud to announce that RLA Global has once again been named "Best International Leisure & Hospitality Advisory" by EU Business News. This marks the second year in a row that we've received this prestigious recognition, reinforcing our position as leaders in the field.

Our company was founded on the principle that a boutique agency can offer the highest level of quality services while remaining accessible and responsive to clients. This approach has consistently allowed us to deliver exceptional results across our areas of expertise, which include resorts, destinations, and complex hospitality and tourism assets influenced by leisure, entertainment, wellbeing, and retail.

EU Business News highlighted our strategic approach as a key factor in our success.

As noted in their article, "RLA Global engages all of the projects that it takes on from a strategic standpoint, an approach that sees it consider the entirety of an asset's lifecycle, even down to the finest details." This comprehensive methodology ensures that our clients receive thorough, practical, and personalized service throughout their projects.

With offices in Las Vegas, Budapest, and Dubai, we maintain an international presence that allows us to serve clients across diverse markets. Our team of senior specialists brings a wealth of experience from blue-chip consulting and field-based operational roles, providing our clients with unparalleled expertise in the industry.

We're proud to have worked on highly complex developments for renowned brands in the hospitality industry. Our project portfolio includes work for Ritz-Carlton in Montenegro and the US, Nikki Beach in Antigua, Emaar in the Middle East, and numerous Four Seasons properties around the world, including a new development in Greece. These clients, among many others, rely on us not only to ensure their assets are profitable but also to serve as the foundation for their long-term incremental value.

As we continue to expand our services and venture into new markets, this latest award serves as a testament to our dedication to excellence and our ability to deliver tangible results for our clients

We remain committed to staying ahead of industry trends, as evidenced by our annual Wellness Real Estate Report. The 2024 edition explores cutting-edge topics such as the impact of AI on wellness, the integration of longevity needs into lifestyles, and the growing influence of wellness in branded residences.
