- The objectives
The goal is “to widen the range of the tourist offer in Sardinia”. And the challenge that began in 2020 with the creation of the Felix hotels group, born from the union of the entrepreneurial families Cicalò and Manca goes on and begins to bring results. Investments for 14 million euros, 7 accommodation facilities, between seasonal and annual, distributed between Santa Teresa Gallura, Baja Sardinia, Arzachena, Olbia, Porto San Paolo, Bari Sardo and Nuoro and a capacity of three hundred and fifty rooms with about 700 beds.
This year Felix, despite the start of the tourist season took place in June, recorded an increase of 48 percent in attendance compared to the previous year and a 55 percent increase in sales. “We cannot make comparisons with 2019 because the group wasn’t there yet – says Paolo Manca, CEO -. The group has been able to intercept the strong national demand and stimulate international customers in particular from Germany, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland and Austria. Thanks to the collaboration with tour operators and travel agencies, to promotional-advertising investments on digital media and to the new group site felixhotels.it, the objectives for 2021 have been largely achieved “.
The route continues. In these days the Hotel Felix Olbia will be officially inaugurated in Olbia, for which “7 million euros have been invested” and there is the announcement of the entry into the chain of the Hotel Galanias in Bari Sardo in Ogliastra. «In 2021 we laid the foundations for a constantly growing project – says Paolo Manca, CEO of the group -. In addition to Felix Hotels we have created Felix Taste, the new brand linked to all catering and pastry activities open to the public or dedicated to hotel customers. Same philosophy and objectives: Felix Taste sets itself as a reference point for quality cuisine and pastry ». Diversification is one of our objectives – continues the manager – our project aims to have approximately 500 rooms ». As for the economic goal: “Once fully operational, we aim to exceed eight million euros in revenues per year”.
