HVS Opens New Caribbean Office

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

August 10, 2009: Steve Rushmore, President, Founder, and CEO of HVS, the global leader for hospitality consulting and services, is pleased to announce the opening of the new HVS Caribbean Office located in Nassau, on New Providence Island in the Bahamas.

Parris E. Jordan, who has extensive consulting experience working out of the New York office of HVS, will become managing director of HVS’ Caribbean operations; this office will specialize in valuation and consulting work in the Caribbean, Central America, and the United States.

Jordan joined the HVS New York office in 2003. He has worked on numerous mid- and large-scale mixed-use developments, valuations, feasibility studies, and operator searches, and has provided strategic advice, return on investment, and market studies in the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean. A native of Trinidad, Jordan brings the right combination of consulting experience and cultural knowledge of the region to better understand the market and sub-markets on the various islands and the nuances in the way business is conducted locally.

Prior to joining HVS, he had more than twelve years of operations and management experience in the hotel and food service industry. In addition to his duties with HVS New York, Jordan teaches a hotel feasibility and development course at New York University.

“The economies of Caribbean nations are highly dependent on the hotel industry,” according to Rushmore. “The hotel and greater service industry will continue to play a vital role for individual islands and the region as a whole. The time is right for HVS to establish a physical presence in the region as supported by recent hotel development activity and the need of existing hotel owners and operators to assess current and future needs.”

Jordan holds a Masters degree in Tourism from New York University, and a Bachelor’s in Hospitality Management from New York City Technical College. He can be contacted at pjordan@hvs.com or at (516) 248-8828 x 253. Click here to view the Caribbean Office page.
