Our International
Partners in Marketing
Condo Hotels
Condo Hotel Center has established
partnerships with two international companies that
are helping to introduce the condo hotel concept to
European buyers.
Through their efforts, Condo Hotel
Center is now able to market condo hotels beyond U.S.
borders to a European audience, reaching a large,
previously untapped population interested in overseas
property investment and particularly in vacation home
ownership in the U.S.
United Kingdom
- W International
Ann Adenius, President
Condo
Hotel Center has forged a partnership with W International
to assist in marketing condo hotels to the U.K. market.
Based in London, W International has a long, successful
history of working with companies in the hospitality
and property field worldwide.
With almost 50 years of combined experience,
their directors have extensive expertise in marketing,
publicizing and selling hotels, resorts and real estate
around the world.
"We approached Condo Hotel Center
because we had many U.K. investors who wanted to invest
in vacation property abroad," explained Ann Adenius,
president of W International.
"The condo hotel concept is perfect for the British
market, as statistics show that most U.K. property
owners only use their vacation home for approximately
four weeks a year. With traditional home ownership
they would bear all the maintenance costs fully. With
a condo hotel, they receive revenue to cover those
costs, and someone else assumes all the responsibilities
of upkeep and finding renters."
According to Adenius, over 40% of all condo hotel
units sold in Orlando, Florida in recent years, for
example, were to U.K. buyers. In addition, U.K. buyers
find properties in the Caribbean and Dubai very appealing.
Both are areas where Condo Hotel Center has significant
knowledge and many attractive property developments.
"We felt that we needed to work with a U.S.-based
company that could provide our clients with comprehensive
information and the most current data on available
condo hotel properties. Condo Hotel Center has been
that link for us. In return, we enable Condo Hotel
Center to deliver a steady stream of enthusiastic
U.K. buyers to the developers with whom they work,"
Adenius said.
