Improved Governance Through Partnerships

Through the different vehicles that we have created with time, we are fortunate because we’re a family business, yet we are super open to having partners in our different ventures across the country. So, we’ve created a vehicle, as an example, with ALT Canada where we have partners, whether they be institutional partners, whether it be private partners plus our own partners at Germain Hotels. So, obviously, we do have our own set of values or our main guiding principles in the family, which is always around service, about serving people, but at the same time, we’re fortunate since we’re open to capital from other people that we’ve been able to create this improved governance, transparency, reporting, everything like that. We’re a private company, yet, we’re governed a little bit like a public company. Making sure we are as transparent as we can be, because we prefer to be able to bring our products everywhere and with partners rather than reducing our opportunities to basically grow at a certain pace because we decided to own everything. So, opening up to people who have a good fit with us, I think it’s a really great way to take best practices here and there, and make our company better.
