Tomás Tameeris - On Porto and Personalities, Revenue and Redirection

For years, Tomás remained dedicated to the field of Revenue
Strategy, working with hotels and brands both domestically and
internationally. However, a year ago, he decided to deepen his
expertise in Sales & Distribution. What led him to this
decision? And how has he experienced this transition after years
of steering hotel revenue strategies?


Born and raised in Porto - a city renowned for its historic old
town adorned with intricate azulejos, its famous port wine
cellars along the Douro River, FC Porto, and its status as
Portugal’s second-largest cit - Tomás has called several cities
home over the years. Today, he resides in Munich, but Hamburg
also played a defining role in his journey.


I want to learn from Tomás about the three most influential
people in his career and what originally inspired him to pursue a
career in hospitality. I’m also curious about his transition from
Revenue to Sales & Distribution - what challenges he has
faced and which key learning has been the most valuable to him so
far.


We discuss leadership and life lessons, the best advice he has
ever received, and the one tip he would give his younger self. He
shares experiences he is particularly grateful for in hindsight
and reveals the must-visit restaurant in Munich. We also talk
about bucket-list travel destinations and the Marriott hotel that
has left the biggest impression on him.
