Christine Galle, Founder – Heavens Portfolio
Having spent more than fifteen years in Asia, Christine prompted the conception of an independent business venture that would fuse her former experience and expertise.
Heavens Portfolio, an integrated representative company in Asia for luxury hotel brands around the world, was founded in August 2005 in Singapore. Christine conceptualized the independent business venture of Heavens Portfolio by fusing her former experience and expertise with her aim of providing personal marketing strategies for truly extraordinary travel destinations. Since its conception over a decade ago, Heavens Portfolio has offered active and talented expertise to market luxury destinations and unique hotels and resorts around the world.
Its integrated service offering of sales, marketing, and public relations provides creative cross-marketing solutions in 15 cities around the region and represents over 150 hotels (individuals and group of hotels) around the globe. The company’s unique approach transcends the typical travel industry establishments of agencies – by building creative “bridges” between the Asian market and the hotels and playing the role of advisers when applying the brand’s own strategies in the represented market. Heavens Portfolio’s team succeeded in significantly increasing market share for its clients and brilliantly launched several properties.
“The company was created to represent very unique travel experiences. When we first started in 2005, experiential travel and niche retreats were few on the travel map, but we noticed a steady growth in interest and recognized a potential for bespoke holidays in previously unchartered territory and destinations. From sailing the Indonesian waters to escaping to remote private islands, we wanted to represent experiences and brands that encompass a plethora of discoveries and cultures.
As the company celebrated its 13th year anniversary in August 2018, we have seen a marked difference in the habits and norms of the Asian travelers from when we first started till now. With the growth of social media and online channels, travelers are far more discerning and have a significantly higher expectation and idea of what constitutes a great travel experience. We hope to continue partnering with the best hotel brands and experiences and to ensure Asian guests enjoy ideal unique travel experience,” states Christine Galle, Founder & Director of Heavens Portfolio.
