HLT Advisory Inc
HLT Advisory Inc. supports the Canadian and international hospitality, leisure and tourism industries with practical, usable, achievable and measurable advice. HLT offers a broad-based package of advisory services to the Canadian and international conference centre, convention, trade show and public assembly facility sector. Key services include:
- Financial analysis and opportunity assessments including pricing and cost reduction options, sponsorship analysis, outsourcing and privatization options;
- Operational benchmarking for capital, revenue, operating expense, payroll/employment and government support;
- Economic impact of building operations and event production; and
- Strategic planning including senior management and Board facilitation.
Since 2006, HLT has worked with the Convention Centres of Canada to collect, analyze and confidentially disseminate operating data from Canada’s 20+ largest convention centres. This “trusted advisor” status reflects HLT’s ability to understand convention venue operations and provide follow-on support.
In addition to benchmarking Canadian centre operations, in 2017 HLT began benchmarking operations of more than 50 convention centres across the world. These annual benchmarking assignments contribute to HLTs knowledge-base and help to provide relevant and actionable solutions that address convention centre client needs.
Individually, HLT is pleased to count many Convention Centres of Canada venues as long-standing clients.
