Of the new management agreement, Anthony Ross, chief executive of JA Resorts & Hotels, said: “There are many advantages to working with a smaller hospitality company, including the unique set of values and structure we present to owners.
“One of the major advantages is the speed at which smaller operators can make decisions, react and get things done. While the big players are hindered by complex hierarchies, prolonged processes and lack of direct contact with owners, JA Resorts & Hotels is the opposite; agile and responsive, and thoroughly connected to owners.”
