This year Marko Ilic encountered his biggest challenge yet \u2013 he took over as General Manager of the Queen of Montenegro, a hotel in Becici that will officially launch on the Montenegrin market next season as part of the Falkensteiner Hotels & Residences.

\n
\"Marko
Marko Ilic, General Manager
\n

He joined the group\u2019s team in 2012 as an F&B manager. Since then, Marko has been walking his path patiently without hurry. In this interview, he talks about the latest in his career and in Falkensteiner.

\n

Last June Falkensteiner started running the Queen of Montenegro in Becici. You started the redesign process in mid-October in order to start the next summer season under the Falkensteiner name. How do you plan to conquer the Montenegrin coast, considering that the competition is high?

\n

Falkensteiner has extensive experience when it comes to beach holiday hotels. After Croatia and Italy \u2013 where our ten four and five-star hotels have been seeing success for years \u2013 it was time for Montenegro to come to the fore. The group recognized the market\u2019s great potential and saw the Queen of Montenegro itself as a worthy representative of our brand in the future. Our values will definitely find their place here, as well, and they \u2013 first and foremost \u2013 pertain to world-class personalized services and attitude towards employees, which is especially important to us as part of the traditional Falkensteiner concept. In this instance, the hotel will primarily be intended for adults. As of next season, the well-known state-of-the-art Acquapura Spa Center will be offering a number of novelties, which I would rather not reveal at this time. Let\u2019s leave it as a surprise.

\n

Could you tell us more about plans related to the MICE segment and extra amenities?

\n

The hotel has excellent MICE facilities. Firstly, a large multi-functional banquet hall spreading over 300 sqm. that can be used for various purposes, ideally for conventions, seminars, and corporate celebrations. We also have two conference rooms with up to around hundred seats and one meeting room for up to 30 seats. Our plan is to build another two smaller rooms with 30 seats. The very position of the hotel, which is a bit off the promenade and crowds, makes it an excellent choice for both team building events and company meetings (e.g., meetcentives) in the preseason (April and May) and after-season (September
\nand October). The halls and rooms will be completely renovated and furbished to the highest standards. All of them have natural light, making them even more pleasant to work and spend time in.

\n

\"\"

\n

What potentials do you see in Montenegro regarding the opening and developing a new market for the hotel group?

\n

The WTTC (World Travel and Tourism Council) ranks Montenegro first in the world in terms of short-term and long-term tourism growth potential. Montenegro is currently working on significant road infrastructure reconstructions, the latest being that of highway leading to the border with Serbia. When everything is taken into account, the group\u2019s decision to continue
\nits expansion in the Balkans from this spot is entirely logical and \u2013 if everything goes according to plan \u2013 I believe that we will not stop at only one hotel.

\n

You were part of other Falkensteiner hotel teams, too. How would you describe working within the group?

\n

I have been part of the Falkensteiner family for six years. I have continued my hospitality industry career development with great pleasure and have been greeted with full confidence by the management, which I am extremely grateful for. I helped open several of our hotels and managed some of them in season. As a regional hotel chain, Falkensteiner has an ideal
\ndegree of central support in terms of business standards and assistance from our central office, but it also provides sufficient freedom to adapt to the local market and become an authentic part of the local community. The group has more than 30 hotels, but the
\nFalkensteiner family \u2013 which conveys the best of what working in the hotel industry includes \u2013 is still active. That is why the very impression of actually being part of one big family contributes both to my enthusiasm and that of the entire team.

\n

\"\"

\n

Finally, could you tell us what you are particularly proud of in your career or what would be your advice to your colleagues?

\n

First of all, I am proud of the fact that my growth journey has been long and included dedicated work and gradual advancement. That is the only way to learn the essence of the hotel business, which is that you need to start from the basics and slowly make your way, which is precisely where you acquire priceless knowledge and skills in working with guests within a large and diverse team. This feeds into my advice for younger colleagues: Start from the very bottom, move up slowly, patiently, and thoroughly, and always grow and build your skills. This will inevitably lead to success.

Aleksandar Vasilijevic stands in the middle of a pegged out square\u00a0area. A horse circles him, makes a turn and, visibly exhausted, approaches\u00a0him.

\n

Aleksandar Vasilijevic has done it. He has successfully\u00a0directed \u201cMaxi\u201d over the dressage area. The people on the\u00a0wooden\u00a0benches are clearly relieved and start clapping.

\n

While this may seem strange to\u00a0an outsider, it is actually part\u00a0of a Falkensteiner Academy seminar.\u00a0Aleksandar Vasilijevic is the General\u00a0Manager of Falkensteiner Hotel Belgrade\u00a0and one of the participants in\u00a0the seminar \u201cLeadership Perception\u201d.

\n
\"Leadership
Leadership Perception Seminar
\n

The seminar has left a deep impression\u00a0on him: \u201cIt is the first time I have\u00a0had a training experience like this and\u00a0I am sure it will make a great impact\u00a0on the way in which me and my team\u00a0members communicate with each\u00a0other in future.

\n

I now realise how\u00a0important feedback from employers is\u00a0and how much my leadership style affects\u00a0the team\u2019s spirit, as well as hotel\u00a0operations.\u201d

\n

People have a key function in the\u00a0hotel business: from reservation, to\u00a0housekeeping. However,\u00a0companies are\u00a0often readier to invest in\u00a0hardware than they are\u00a0in their employees\u2019 further\u00a0development. The\u00a0money spent on personnel\u00a0development in this\u00a0sector is shockingly low.\u00a0It amounts to 79 Euros\u00a0per member of staff per\u00a0year. In comparison: The\u00a0amount spent on personnel\u00a0development in the\u00a0insurance sector is 1,500\u00a0Euros. (DeStatis 2011)

\n

The Falkensteiner\u00a0Group, with over 30 hotels and\u00a0residences in six countries, takes a\u00a0different approach. Elisabeth Burgis,\u00a0Director of HR for the\u00a0Falkensteiner Group,\u00a0makes this clear: \u201cOur\u00a0employees play a central\u00a0role in giving our guests\u00a0that special Falkensteiner\u00a0\u2018Welcome Home\u2019 feeling.
\nIt is therefore essential\u00a0that we give them the\u00a0opportunity to constantly\u00a0work on their further\u00a0personal development.\u201d

\n
\"Leadership
Leadership Perception Seminar
\n

Monika Strahwald,\u00a0responsible for the\u00a0Falkensteiner Academy,\u00a0expands on this; \u201cEven\u00a0though we offer a variety\u00a0of professional seminars, such as\u00a0wine steward training and hospitality\u00a0systems training, our focus lies on the\u00a0further development of our management\u00a0staff and we are taking a new\u00a0approach here. Learning doesn\u2019t only\u00a0have to take place in the seminar\u00a0room.\u201d

\n

The seminar with horses is one\u00a0of the highlights of the extensive\u00a0educational program at Falkensteiner\u00a0Academy. For Tine Brodnjak, Resident\u00a0Manager of the Falkensteiner\u00a0Iadera in the Punta Skala Resort, it\u00a0was the best training he has ever had:\u00a0\u201cThere is nothing better than testing\u00a0and improving your leadership skills\u00a0by dealing with animals like horses.

\n

Horses respond best to an honest relationship\u00a0which is built on authenticity, trust and respect. When working\u00a0with them, you are testing yourself to\u00a0see how you react to different types\u00a0of employees. Will they be followers\u00a0or will they be those whom you have\u00a0to push? They are either with you, or\u00a0they are simply not even paying attention\u00a0to you, just as in everyday life.\u201d

\n

The trainer for \u201cLeadership Perception\u201d\u00a0is Monika Eibler. She had her\u00a0first experience with horses when she\u00a0was 5 years old and has now turned\u00a0her passion into a profession. She\u00a0provides effective, high quality horseassisted\u00a0leadership, communication\u00a0and team-building training courses\u00a0for small to midsize companies and\u00a0for large international enterprises, as\u00a0well for individuals. The benefits of\u00a0these types of training programs are\u00a0obvious; \u201cPeople learn through actual\u00a0experience. Horses give experience.
\nIn addition to the rational level, the\u00a0work with horses also addresses the\u00a0emotional level. This makes learning\u00a0sustainable and defines the essential\u00a0starting point for the change process.\u201d

The aim of the horse seminar is\u00a0similar to that of other leadership\u00a0seminars. It\u2019s about trust. It\u2019s about\u00a0acting authentically. It\u2019s about motivation.\u00a0It\u2019s about achieving your goal.\u00a0Elisabeth Burgis, Director of HR of the\u00a0Falkensteiner Group, sees a big difference\u00a0between this seminar and other\u00a0types of seminar, namely, the strong\u00a0impact of the experience.
\nShe notes: \u201cYour experience with\u00a0these horses becomes engraved on\u00a0your memory. All of our members\u00a0of staff can feel the enthusiasm the\u00a0participants bring back with them\u00a0from the seminar and, in the end, so\u00a0can our guests.\u201d

The Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Jesolo is developed according to five-star standards and it will be the fourth hotel in the five-star Premium Collection of the Vienna-based South Tyrolean hotel group.

\n

The hotel includes a pool and beach house with 112 rooms and suites, and 19 apartments. The Acquapura SPA covers an area of \u200b\u200b1,300 sqm, and is equipped with a heated indoor and outdoor pool, relaxation room, jacuzzi, solarium, various saunas, and 8 massage and treatment rooms.

\n

Otmar Michaeler, CEO of FMTG \u2013 Falkensteiner Michaeler Tourism Group AG: \u201cThis beach hotel comes at the right time for us. For the premium hotels of our Group and for our guests, this project is an important addition to the Alpine-Adriatic region. As for the architecture and design, we have again used the services of renowned professionals. The New York architect Richard Meier is the creator of the exterior concept. Matteo Thun is responsible for the interior design.\u201d

\n

Pop art elements and the brightness of the colours of the 1960s give a first indication of the design concept of the Italian architect Matteo Thun, who is responsible for the interior design. The high-profile designer duo has created a peerless mix of distinct shapes, luxurious materials, fresh colours, and pop art design elements. It is rigorous and sophisticated on the outside, and playful and eccentric on the inside.

\n

For Otmar Michaeler, architecture and design play an important role when creating a hotel concept: \u201cNone of our hotels are alike, and especially our newest completed city projects in Belgrade and Vienna as well as the five-star Hotel & Spa Iadera in Croatia show our intention to emphasise architecture. This hotel will be a charming homage to the glorious past of the Italian bathing resorts, and bring the glamour and flair of Miami to the Adriatic. Of course, we also want to usher in a common and successful future with the city and the region of Jesolo.\u201d
