As a world leader in golf course and resort management, large scale global events and planning and management consulting, IMG has benefited from a long-standing involvement in winter sports event and athlete management.
IMG Ski Resort Management will offer its clients years of industry experience and a powerful track record in China and beyond.
Adam Zhu, President, China and Vice Chairman, Asia of IMG, said: “Axis’ expertise in developing and managing exceptional leisure and hospitality brands and resorts, together with an extensive knowledge of the Chinese ski industry and markets in developing countries, will greatly enhance our ability to pursue development projects throughout China.”
“We believe that our global execution capability and specialised expertise in the sports management and facility construction business coupled with Axis’ deep-rooted knowledge and relationships in the mountain resort development and management categories will yield some very beneficial and successful partnerships.”
