We at RLA Global are pleased to be recognized by the European Travel Awards. "We are motivated by this award to continue advancing as leaders in the international leisure and hospitality industry,” said Roger Allen, our CEO.

We are happy to be distinguished as ‘Best International Leisure & Hospitality Advisors 2023’ by the prestigious European Travel Awards.  

The awards, organized annually by EU Business News, identify and honour outstanding businesses in Europe's travel, tourism, and hospitality industries. We were selected as a winner by an independent panel of judges who thoroughly researched all nominees and assessed them based on criteria including expertise, client service, commitment to quality, business performance, longevity, and growth. 

Representatives of the European Travel Award highlighted our passion for excellence in their assessment, stating "Dedicated to client satisfaction, RLA Global strives to provide services that meet the highest standards. It is able to accomplish this thanks to the contributions of its hardworking, self-driven team members." 

They also noted: "So far, 2023 has been an exciting year for RLA Global. We have been working on major resort and destination projects across more than 20 countries, from the USA to the Maldives, such as a landmark Central Asian development in Tajikistan. We have also recently released this year's Wellness Real Estate Report, a useful report that provides stakeholders with performance data regarding 2600 global hotels." 

"Even as the economic context seems ever more challenging, we are confident that with well-established concept and feasibility studies, we can arm our clients to be resilient and manage change effectively," said Roger Allen, our CEO.
