As founder of Global Destinations, Michael Greve has been one of the more involved players in development in recent years. His initiatives include new hotels and cruise ship destinations.
Before becoming an entrepreneur in 2001, Mr. Greve held management positions in development and finance at Hilton Hotels Corporation and at Royal Caribbean International, where he managed commercial investments. Notably, he was involved in the development of the homeports of Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico for the post-Panamax Voyager class of ships, at that time the largest in the world. Prior, he was a member of the corporate finance department, where he led capital planning.
Today, Global is recognized for leadership in destination analysis, marketing and strategic development. Clients range from cruise lines to national governments.
In addition, as a principal or partner, Global is working on the capitalization and development of two hotels and three cruise ship destinations in the Caribbean region, including in Aruba and at Banana Coast, Honduras.
Mr. Greve holds an MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management, with a focus in international affairs and political economy. He has a BS from Florida State University, where he was in the Honors & Scholars Program. In addition to his primary role, Mr. Greve is a principal at Tourism Economics, an Oxford Economics company, where he advises on economic development and national investment policy. The company is a consultant to the United Nations, the US Government, and dozens of international governments and private corporations.
He has been a speaker at the Organization of American States (OAS), the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) and the Seatrade Cruise Shipping Convention. Michael Greve gave the keynote address at the 2009 Caribbean Tourism Organization Board of Directors and Council of Ministers meeting.
