My love of sport, and football in particular, initially led me to a sports teacher’s diploma. During this time, I also came into contact with the tourism industry. This is where I discovered my second passion: it evolved over ten years as a tourism professional. I built up new destinations with a focus on Europe – incoming and outgoing – and worked closely with hotels. A time full of new experiences, contacts and successes. My curiosity and my urge for further development remained unbroken.

Both finally culminated in a sports management diploma in Switzerland, in parallel to which I completed a diploma in hotel management at the Higher Hotel Management School in Zurich.
Twenty years in the hotel industry followed – thirteen of them as general manager of large hotels in the business, MICE and leisure sectors. Here I put my sports background to good use in organising training camps for international football clubs and large events.

Thirty years of tourism and hotel business, that is. Thirty years of experience, new networks and contacts. All this now flows into Syndeo. And all this adds up to your success if you put your trust in our work.

Yours, Thomas Baliamis, CEO
