Career summary
Alex Hillston is Vice President of Albatross Investments and Development specialising in Golf Resorts and Real Estate development. He was born in Sydney, Australia and educated at Randwick Boys and the UNSW, where he lectured in law for some
years. Alex has been in Greece since 1983 working in general management for companies in the local
tourism industry and other areas.
He and his Australian and Greek partners believe that Greece can become one of the leading golf resort destinations in Europe over the next 20 years.
Golf resorts and real estate development, correctly planned and instigated in Greece, will allow for continual viable investment in the Greek Tourism and Real Estate industry and significantly contribute to year round tourism. Golf has become a world-wide catalyst for profitable investment and Greece's virgin market will become very attractive for local and foreign
investors.
Golf
real estate in the US is one of the biggest industries for building
development. For Northern Europeans, Australians and Americans, the
opportunity of owning a holiday house or retirement home on a golf course
in Greece is clearly an alternative for them. Thus there is tremendous
opportunity for developing golf resorts with housing, which could parallel
the boom in the US, Spain and Portugal. It should be noted that the
creation of housing developments will encourage medium and high income
earners permanently or part time in Greece, thus creating a new income
source through an emerging golf industry.
