Hotel Operations ---> Hotel/Resort Development

Graduated from non-target school with a double major in Finance and Hospitality & Tourism Management. While in college I interned with a company that managed a boutique hotel and vacation rental properties. Also while in college, I worked with an attorney doing estate/tax planning for HNW individuals. After graduation I worked with a hotel/resort developer for several months assisting with all matter regarding hotel and resort development (pro-formas, due diligence, site visits, re-zonings, etc.). It's a small operation, and he did not have a full time position available for me.

For the past year I have been involved in hotel operations doing revenue analysis/group management.

Has anyone ever gone this path or know of anyone that has? Any suggestions are appreciated.
