On 21st March 2007, IFA Hotels & Resorts (IFA HR), as part of its ongoing global expansion, will launch its London office. Talal Jassim Al-Bahar, Chairman and Managing Director of IFA HR, stated: “We are pleased to be bringing this exciting and dynamic investment opportunity to the UK market.

The office will also lead and manage our existing European projects and investments and will explore future investment opportunities.”

Al-Bahar added: “Our first step into Europe was in the mid 80s when we started investing in Portugal through United Investments Portugal, part of the IFA Consortium. Since then, we have expanded across the Middle East and into South Africa, Africa, the Indian Ocean region and most recently the Far East.”

Werner Burger, President and COO of IFA HR, stated: “With the European launch of IFA Hotels & Resorts, the UK investor will now have access to investment opportunities in luxury mixed-use resorts in prestigious locations around the globe. We offer investors and tourists world-class facilities through a network of hotels, residential resorts, vacation and fractional ownership products.”

Globally, IFA HR has entered into strategic alliances and joint venture partnerships with leading companies such as Kingdom Hotel Investments (Saudi Arabia), Nakheel (UAE), Istithmar (UAE), United Investments Portugal(Portugal), a strategic alliance with RCI (part of the Cendant’s Group), Moreland Developments (Pty) Ltd (South Africa), Boschendal Ltd. (South Africa) and most recently Raimon Land (Thailand).

Al-Bahar concluded: “Our unique product range enables us to cater to our clients and meet their varying property investment and leisure requirements across the globe. The opening of our European office is another step towards providing superior service to the global market place. Being at the centre of this market ensures superior investment opportunities for our clients worldwide.”

How do you expect luxury travel to perform in times of economic downturn?.

Providers of luxury travel products are going to witness shorter stays by their customers and an increase in seasonality.

People are going to become more value conscious and will opt for those luxury offers that represent a convincing value-for-money proposition. Providers of overpriced services are those to feel the pinch.

Both people paying for their personal trips and firms paying for their top executives' business trips will cut back on travel expenses, thus affecting all luxury travel providers.

It is going to be business as usual. Those people opting for high-end travel products are not going to be affected by the looming crisis.
