This week, Hosco talks to Mariano Faz, who heads up asset management at Dubai’s The First Group, a hotel development company specializing in 4-star projects whose portfolio includes collaborations with international brands like Wyndham and Millenium. Faz’s job is essentially that of a highly skilled intermediary: he brings owners and investors together with hotel brands, facilitating and interpreting at both sides of the table.
As the industry grows and evolves, so, too, does the knowledge one must have to gain entry into it, and this is where Faz and his multi-skilled team comes in. Listen as he talks about what hotel asset management involves and the special skills it takes to make it in this exciting, fast-paced area of hospitality.
