Welcome to InterConnect USA!

Who We Are

InterConnect USA is a representation company formed in 2000 to promote hotels, resorts, destinations and tourism organizations. Our mission is to assist client revenue goals by designing and implementing innovative and strategic sales and marketing programs. Our clients use us as extension of their management team and count on us for “thinking out of the box” to get the job done.

Through our extensive network of international contacts, we identify the international clientele and accounts that would be a good match for each property; we develop sales leads, process reservations from all sources and attend to guest requirements in their own language and time-zone.

We have a local presence in Europe, South America and New York every day of the year, and so do each  one of the hotels we represent.

Through our long-established relationship with the international press, we are able to offer international exposure to our hotels, thus helping to position them overseas.

Our Capabilities

We are a task-oriented company who owners rely on for, among others:

• Increasing the ADR
• Expanding occupancy
• Enhancing the business mix
• Developing an international clientele
• Identifying new business opportunities for hotel development
• Qualifying industry investors

InterConnect USA works simultaneously for clients throughout the world but especially in the United States, Germany, Spain and South America. This approach allows us on behalf of our clients to react immediately to political, economic and social influences.

Over the years, InterConnect USA has established a solid relationship with international media (radio, television, press), and we have shared press conferences, presentations and press trips.

We maintain affiliated offices in Germany (Munich), Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) and Argentina (Buenos Aires, for development of business in Argentina, Uruguay and Chile).

Our Assets

In addition to our extensive network of international contacts, trust is our most important asset. For over 30 years we have cultivated relationships- and yes, friendships- with hoteliers, tour operators, travel agents and others from all over the world. We have established a business-oriented track record with our colleagues and friends who know that they can count on our insights and due diligence no matter where in the world they may transfer. We continue to be one of the few constants they can turn to again and again and again to help their businesses thrive and flourish.

Our second most important asset is experience. For over 30 years we have worked with our clients to find solutions to day-to-day and long-range challenges. Our experience helps our clients envision and actualize opportunities that always evolves out of needs and problem-solving.

Our third most important asset is the fact that we are multilingual. We are fluent in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Language reflects a culture and to understand one is to understand the other. Our experience shows that many issues perceived initially as “problems” simply go away when people and businesses understand each other and communicate shared goals through a common language.
