Discussing the new partnership, QUO’s CEO, David Keen, said, “We are extremely excited about this new alliance with Horwath HTL. The hospitality industry is well aware of the high quality of Horwath HTL’s business advice, and combining that with QUO’s specialist experience in hotel and travel branding creates an unprecedented package for the travel industry that is so much greater than the sum of its individual parts”, adding that, “Our joint team will now be moving forward to work closely with clients to generate highly innovative strategies that will have a massive impact on the future development of the hotel and travel sector”.
