𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 — whether hotel renovations, resort openings, or luxury residential developments — carry a critical success factor: supply chain management. This becomes even more relevant in medium- and long-term projects, where it is almost inevitable to face variations ranging from logistical costs to changes in bilateral agreements that directly impact the taxation of imported products.

Among the main challenges of supply chain management in international projects, two key aspects stand out, along with strategies that can ensure the balance between quality and budget:

Here, it is essential to master tax regulations and the correct product classification according to the HS Code in the country where the project is executed. In a hotel implementation or renovation project, global sourcing must have full visibility and understanding of both domestic and imported product tax rules. This knowledge enables the proper alignment between product costs and the management costs associated with the execution of construction and refurbishment services.

Logistics has always been a broad and complex challenge, particularly in budgeting, since costs can change significantly in the medium and long term — inevitably impacting the project’s financial plan. In an international context, and given the volatility of global freight rates, it is crucial for companies to establish a well-structured sourcing strategy that integrates both local and international suppliers. This ensures that, when the project execution and delivery of items take place, the company can maintain strategic supply, connecting budget, timelines, and design.

More than simply “buying and delivering,” supply chain in international hospitality is about synchronizing vision, culture, and execution — ensuring every detail contributes to the creation of memorable experiences.
