Tourism, Leisure & Hospitality

Since early 2005 Marlborough has played a growing role in helping Tourism, Leisure and Hospitality businesses across Europe expand their commercial footprint, increase market share and build brand awareness.

We have achieved some notable successes including the role we played as advisors to a major (EUR 1bn+) Tourism Group where we placed a number of key executives who would play an integral role in the company’s expansion to new countries.

There are significant current and future challenges facing this sector, a large proportion of which are people-related. Paradoxically, while the industry has focussed much of its efforts on developing customer loyalty it has suffered from failing to retain its top talent. When profiling future leaders of this sector we’re looking for international exposure, strong commercial affinity and financial awareness, an innovative approach and a passion for customer service.

Our International expertise in this field covers businesses within the following sectors: cruise lines, hotels, tourism, MICE and leisure / theme parks.
