Throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, tourism has become increasingly important, contributing to economic development and providing countries with a durable competitive advantage.   After all, pristine rainforests, immaculate beaches and perpetual sunshine are natural endowments that are simply impossible to replicate.    BRIC Advisory assists leading developers obtain difficult to source development capital to fund a range of tourism projects, from business oriented city center and airport hotels to hotel and resort projects targeted to the leisure market. 

Despite attractive investment opportunities, private financial markets are often unwilling to fund hotel investments in developing countries because of political or economic instability, seasonality, unstable cash flows, or the capital intensive nature of developments.  At BRIC Advisory, resort developers find a trusted partner to spearhead the financing process with development institutions and obtain financial resource needed to fund development.  Our bankers have deep relationships with development banks and a thorough understanding of their internal processes for evaluating loans to the tourism sector, such as the IDB’s Tourism Sustainability Scorecard.   When hotel and resort developers need development loans, they come to BRIC Advisory.
