local producers , local architects to reflect the location .”

To take it a step further and keep with trends and guest expectations , the Beaumier portfolio places great emphasis on truly connecting with its communities . “ We are an integral part of the life of our small villages and the goal for us is for guests to simply have a good time , just relax , breathe , do some sport , and eat well .”

When asked about his biggest challenge , like so many others Dardé referenced labor . He says issues revolve around housing [ the portfolio is predominantly seasonal ] and lifestyle . “ We have a duty to rethink how we make our industry attractive because in the 30 years I ’ ve been working I don ’ t think the industry has looked after people very well ,” he says . “ Our people are looking at life differently than people like me 10-20 years ago … Money is not just the answer . People want a better lifestyle , flexibility and to be better appreciated … They want to share

SELLERS HERE WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHO THEY ARE WORKING WITH , AND PEOPLE TRUST US . THEY CAN SEE THE SUM TOTAL YEARS WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS AND HOW WE CARE ABOUT THE HOTELS . THE STRENGTH WE HAVE IS WHO WE ARE .

our values and share the way we look at the world .”

While the challenges remain , Dardé is refreshed and an eternal optimistic . “ I wake up in the morning and my future is bright – whatever the challenges in front of us .”

Most importantly , he wants to make the vision written for Beaumier – from a teaching perspective , from a responsibility perspective – is realized . “ And I want my guests to be refreshed when they leave , and my local communities cared for .”
