Busy days and lot's of inspiration for RLA Global!

Our Group CEO Roger Allen and Chief Strategy Officer Dr. Péter Bajcsi are in Armenia this week, meeting with Baktyiar Tokoev, our senior consultant for Central Asia.

We believe both Western and Central Asia hold great potential from hospitality point of view. Armenia with its dramatic landscapes and dynamic local traditions are particularly interesting to us.

As leaders in global hospitality strategy, we plan to create pioneering experiential resorts that align closely with Armenia’s treasures. Our team is conducting extensive market research to to craft destination plans capitalizing on the area's stunning natural sights and cultural heritage.

As we open new frontiers in Armenia, our full suite of services will focus on financial viability and operational excellence while celebrating sustainable tourism. We are very excited about future projects in the Caucasus region and cannot wait to transform ideas into reality. 

Our visit included Armenia’s sanctuary for majestic brown bears in the country’s stunning alpine wilderness. Just as Armenia’s ancient, storied history stands ready to welcome a new era, RLA Global looks to the future as we grow our work reimagining travel in this special corner of the world.
