Hospitality
Odesa has always been a city of hospitality, and the sector is reviving. We support hotels, restaurants and resorts — from real estate to franchise.
Odesa has always been a city of hospitality — with its sea, the resorts of the coast and a restaurant culture that shaped the face of the city. The war struck the sector hard, yet domestic tourism, a reorientation toward the Ukrainian guest and the gradual revival of business life give hotels and restaurants a new footing, while requirements of safety, of shelters and of uninterrupted operation have become part of the everyday running of an establishment.
We support hotels, restaurants and resorts in matters of real estate and lease, licences for alcohol and music, franchising and management agreements, employment relations with seasonal staff and consumer protection. The contractual foundation of an establishment and its relations with the owner of the premises, with operators and with suppliers we build so that a hospitality business withstands both seasonal swings and the demands of wartime.
