Promoting Tourism in Marbella
Combining an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for his adopted hometown in southern Spain, Nicholas Rhodes has transformed Marbella Options into a travel company that has the industry talking.
Almost 12 months ago, when he bought the then ailing travel company, Marbella Options, 36 year-old Nicholas Rhodes was convinced of the company's untapped potential. After using his extensive computer savvy to rewrite a user-friendly on-line booking engine, www.marbellaoptions.com , he began contacting hotels and villa owners in the Marbella area to let them know about his exciting plans for attracting new and old visitors to the area. Impressed by his knowledge and enthusiasm, they responded immediately, and their belief in Nicholas's vision has been well rewarded as Marbella Options has seen a 300% growth in sales over the last 18 months.
The secret to this success is the niche market that Nicholas and his team have carved out using all the resources at hand, including the latest technology, a successful and well-established graphic design team, an extensive inside knowledge of the area forged over more than 20 years living and working in the town, and a desire to put Marbella firmly back in the spotlight. “Marbella has always been a popular sun and golf destination,� explains Nicholas, “but over the last few years no one has really taken the time to give it a planned, cohesive push. There is so much competition out there, and to remain on people's radars you have to make some noise.�
It seems that people are listening, and the relationships that Nicholas has built up with local hotels and villa owners are unprecedented. Some 30 hotels now offer rates on the website, and the company has negotiated exclusive sales contracts with several luxury properties. One such arrangement with the recently opened Hotel Guadalpin Banus gave the property valuable income and feedback during its pre-opening period. Over 8 months, Marbella Options heavily promoted special rates on its website, and to its extensive database. The results were astonishing, with close to 4300 room nights sold and many repeat bookings from guests who had fully enjoyed the unbeatable rates and excellent facilities. The company also took over the luxury Vasari Resort & Spa in March taking its occupancy figures from 20% up to over 90%.
