Could the toughest time inspire the greatest solutions?
Being between a rock and a hard place calls for a new plan — a novel approach, strength, creativity! The outcome might not be the BEST solution, but it will be a BETTER solution!

Co-President, Germain Hôtels
Could the toughest times inspire the greatest solutions?
Yes, and the present time is proof of that. Every difficult situation brings its share of ideas and new approaches. Some catch on and others don’t.
“What doesn’t destroy us makes us stronger.”
