Upstyle Travel is the hospitality investment arm of Upstyle Consulting GmbH, based in Vienna, Austria. Led by Dr. Conrad Pramböck, we specialize in partnering with eco-resort founders in emerging and frontier markets worldwide.
Unlike traditional investors focused purely on financial returns, we’re hospitality operators who’ve successfully navigated remote construction, community partnerships, and the countless challenges of building exceptional properties in unconventional locations.
Upstyle Travel partners with proven boutique eco-property operators in established emerging markets to scale exceptional properties through equity partnerships. We provide capital for expansion, comprehensive digital sales infrastructure (website, booking systems, OTA distribution), and operational expertise while you maintain day-to-day control and local relationships. Target markets include accessible regions with tourism infrastructure—Mediterranean alternatives, Southeast Asian boutique zones, Central American coasts, African coastal regions, and South American established destinations—where demand exists but boutique eco-luxury options remain scarce.
Upstyle Travel partners with local landowners in frontier markets worldwide to develop eco-resort properties using a 50/50 equity model where we provide capital, marketing, and expertise while you provide land, local knowledge, and operations. We focus on “luxury of simplicity” designs that preserve natural beauty while delivering comfort—not five-star excess that contradicts the setting. We’re actively seeking partnerships in remote coastal regions, pristine islands, and unique natural environments across Melanesia, Polynesia, Southeast Asia, Indian Ocean, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Central/South America. Our capped return structure for additional investors ensures local partners retain long-term ownership control. We’ve proven this model across multiple frontier markets and bring experienced crisis management, community relationship building, and operational setup expertise to every new partnership.
Building remote hospitality properties requires navigating supply chain challenges, training local teams, managing construction in difficult conditions, and maintaining vision through inevitable setbacks. Upstyle Travel partners through the entire journey—from initial land assessment through construction management to operational launch and first-season optimization. We bring experienced crisis management during construction problems, capital flexibility for unexpected costs, operational expertise for team training and service standard development, and the digital infrastructure that connects remote properties to global travelers. Success comes from treating the first season as learning phase, investing in local community relationships, and maintaining flexibility to adapt when circumstances change. We’ve built this experience across multiple projects and bring those lessons to every new partnership—your unfair advantage in turning vision into viable revenue-generating hospitality assets.
