Investing in the tourism industry with a real turn key solution

A new breed of investor is emerging. Better informed and better educated into overseas property investments, their main focus is to invest into high tourism areas and its real turn-key solutions, in the form of apart-hotels that have become the preferred investment vehicle.

Mark Bingham Managing Director of Owner Invest said, “Apart-hotels have become more popular over the last year as investors have realised that this long term investment strategy stands up well compared to most other overseas investment opportunities. This is particular true of the current financial climate we find ourselves embroiled in, with many overseas property markets fluctuating considerably. Investors therefore continue to look primarily for financial gain, but stability and risk management, rank equally high.

Apart-hotel investors have the same benefits as holiday ownership investors and more! Apart from capital appreciation and the ongoing 50% room share rate there is the added advantage of all the ‘normal headaches’ often associated with property ownership, such as general maintenance, being dealt with by the appointed management company.

The secret is to invest in areas where the tourism footfall is high. The tourism industry is still and will always be buoyant. The economic down turn that Europe and many other parts of the world find themselves in, has made investor’s naturally cautious. However they still want to invest. Gone are the days of stocks and shares; the new money is in property ownership and apart-hotels offer a hassle free investment that fits many peoples time restricted lives.”

Owner Invest have sold 120 apartments from their European apart-hotel portfolio over the last 3 months. Such has been the demand that currently there is now a waiting list on four of Owner Invests new developments. Credit Crunch or not, the shrewd investors amongst us know where the long term financial gains lie.


Owner Invest currently develops and markets apart-hotel investment opportunities in Spain, Portugal, Crete, Germany, Bali, Thailand, Dubai, Scotland and the Lake District.
