Riu Hotels: from a small family business to an expanding international chain
The company was founded in 1953 with a small hotel in Mallorca, it now has 86 establishments and plans to reach 100 in the year 2002. 150 metres from the Riu Centre, on the front line of the beach, is the Riu San Francisco, the chain's first establishment, with which Mr. Juan Riu started the first generation of the family business in 1953.
|
Mr. Juan Riu's son, Mr. Luis Riu Bertrán (the second generation) was the chief executive of the chain until his death at the age of 65 on 7th April 1998.
Since then, the company has been run by the third generation embodied by Mr. Luis Riu's two children, Carmen Riu Güell and Luis Riu Güell, who share the post of chief executive.
|
Following its solid expansion in the Canary Islands, in the nineties Riu Hotels commenced its internationalisation as a chain with the opening of the hotel Riu Taíno in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic). From this island, whose beaches are among the most beautiful in the world, the chain has expanded in the Caribbean: Cuba, Florida, Mexico and Jamaica.
|
In the context of this internationalisation, the RIU family, owners of the chain, set up a company in 1993 with their traditional German partner TUI (Touristik Union International), the largest tour operator in Europe
|
When building new properties: Nature is priority wherever Riu builds a new Hotel. We respect the essential quality of the landscape and the typical architecture of its locale.
|
In our hotels: We avoid generating waste as much as possible, implementing a conscious recycling system, along with an effective energy and drinking water management. These are just some of the numerous measures we adopted in Riu Hotels to protect nature.
|
In the environment: The water supply in Riu Hotels is treated with our own purifying equipment or through the local plant. Furthermore, we feel responsible for the preservation of the beaches where our hotels are located.
A commitment that certainly is worth the effort.
