Environment
Recent occurrences within the hospitality industry and the nation have resulted in a market with extremely different characteristics than those of just a few years ago. Consolidation, globalization, and business failures continue to reduce the number of industry participants; lending and building excesses have been widespread; and the ability to acquire, finance or sell hinges upon international capital market events.

Expertise
We provide asset management and management services in all areas of the hospitality industry. The firm enjoys a reputation of excellence and has a team of experienced professionals with outstanding academic credentials and superior professional training. Moreover, as hotel owners and operators for our own account, R. A. Rauch & Associates has unique insight into ownership needs.

Continuity
We are active and continually involved in the tourism and hospitality industry – the fastest growing industry in the world. This involvement has provided an in-depth knowledge of the market and its rapidly changing conditions. The result is a tangible understanding of complex issues stemming from over-built markets, shifts in the market positioning of effected properties and the difficulty in finding new sources of capital.
