About Us

Buchhalter International Group was founded in 2013 as a consulting firm to support efforts of luxury Tavel destinations interested in penetrating the luxury market in North America. Buchhalter International Group has, since then, successfully assisted international brands in creating brand awareness and developing marketing alliances with luxury brands in the USA and Canada. The firm expanded its services, opening a representation division and later a digital travel noncommercial magazine. Today, the firm is a respected boutique representation firm, considered one of the most respected representation firms whose portfolio includes unique luxury destination experiences worldwide. Buchhalter International Group has provided sales and marketing support to brands like Palazzo Versace in Dubai, Zemi Beach House in Anguilla, Hacienda Alta Gracia in Costa Rica, Ritz Carlton Reserve in Puerto Rico and InterContinental Maamunagou in the Maldives with their opening and becoming top luxury destinations for the North American and Latin American luxury markets. Design Destinations Magazine has developed into a seek-out travel magazine by travel professionals and is used as an essential information source with a higher than standard opening rate, providing our partners with a great marketing opportunity to reach a highly desired clientele.
