Boosting Revenue and Profitability: How Our Countertrade Expertise Transformed a Spanish Hospitality & Leisure Company in 60 Days
Here's What We Do Better
Background
Our client is a leading hospitality and leisure company based in Spain, catering to both domestic and international tourists. They operate hotels, resorts, and recreational facilities in prime locations across the country. Despite offering a diverse range of services and products to cater to their target audience, the company faced a series of challenges, including declining revenue, customers, sales, cash flow, and profit.
Problem
The client’s struggles with declining revenue, customers, sales, cash flow, and profit put their financial stability, market share, and competitiveness at risk. In addition, their ability to retain and attract talented employees, meet financial obligations, and maintain a strong reputation was also severely compromised.
COUNTERTRADE SOLUTIONS
SOLUTION
To address these challenges, we implemented multiple countertrade mechanisms, including:
-
Counter-Purchase: We helped the client establish counterpurchase agreements with suppliers, enabling them to purchase goods and services at reduced prices.
-
Direct and Indirect Offsets: We facilitated offset agreements with suppliers in various countries, leading to a 70% cost reduction.
-
Joint Ventures: We advised the client to enter into joint ventures with local partners in target markets, increasing their market presence and customer base.
-
Tolling: We assisted the client in leveraging tolling agreements to utilize the facilities and equipment of other companies, reducing their capital expenditure.
-
Import Entitlement Programs: We guided the client in taking advantage of import entitlement programs to acquire foreign currency at lower exchange rates, reducing their operational costs.
Implementation
We worked closely with the client to identify suitable countertrade partners and negotiate the terms of the agreements. Our team provided ongoing support throughout the implementation process, ensuring that each countertrade mechanism was effectively integrated into their business operations.
