Acerca de
ROCCO BOVA, a charismatic leader and experienced Hotelier.
I am a passionate and energetic entrepreneur with a remarkable career of over 20 years. Have worked in some of the finest, world class properties in amazing destinations spanning five continents.
My phenomenal tenacity and ambition has shaped my life and behavior and helped my insatiable desire to learn and travel the world, living and adapting even to the most complex and challenging cultures.
My educational journey began in London at the Westminster College, followed in Singapore at Cornell University and continues through workshops, readings and the internet on topics such as Human Behavior, Neuro Marketing, NLP and Business Modelling.
I LOVE my job and I am proud to say that I have an unquestionable integrity. One of my objectives is to coach and inspire teams to what the world of hospitality offers. I enjoy interacting and socializing with people at all levels, and have a natural ability to influence and engage others making everyone feel welcome.
I managed to grow many thousands of contacts in the Hospitality, Travel, Press and PR industries plus hundreds of high net-worth personal connections to ensure a quick business turnaround or a re-branding. Should the business unit be a pre-opening project, my myriads of industry connections will allow me to put together a winning team in no time.
I commit to provide your business with sustainable results taking it to greater levels of customer service, foster an empowered and engaged workforce, increase repeat business and create new tools to grow profits, with always in mind the best interests of my employer.
Since 2020 I begun working on a personal project called My Humble House with the intention to change the rules of the business model in the hospitality industry. This is a work in progress and for more details or to check on the latest developments, follow the company page on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/company/my-humble-house/ .
Finally, I wish to attend a development course at a world class University to help me becoming a better leader.
This has been my journey.

Rocco Bova is living quite the hospitality adventure. I wanted to catch up with him for a few reasons.
Firstly he’s running a health resort in Mexico, a fascinating country. Sometimes a reputation for drug cartels, kidnapping and more recently a catastrophic impact of COVID-19. But Rocco loves Mexico, and he’s lived in enough countries to be able to make an objective decision.

Firstly he’s running a health resort in Mexico, a fascinating country. Sometimes a reputation for drug cartels, kidnapping and more recently a catastrophic impact of COVID-19. But Rocco loves Mexico, and he’s lived in enough countries to be able to make an objective decision.
Secondly, with people maybe questioning why they work in hospitality and wondering what the future might hold, Rocco demonstrates just what an exciting and varied career it can provide. He’s worked in all the corners of the globe, really getting to know local cultures and people as he lives in, rather than travels through, so many different countries. It’s one of the great opportunities a career in hospitality can provide. But I wanted to chat realistically about the pros and cons. Is a family life still possible, is managing different cultures a challenge, does he miss the comforts of a regular home life. I won’t spoil the conversation, but safe to say Rocco absolutely LOVES hospitality and all the adventurous opportunities it has created for him.Otros autoresVer publicación -

Today EP had the pleasure of talking with Rocco Bova, GM of Chablé Yucatán, who being originally from Italy is a passionate hotelier with an impressive career spanning over 20 years within the luxury hotel market.
As GM of a beautifully boutique resort surrounded by jungle, we were interested to find out how lockdown and the pandemic has impacted on the resort and much of Mexico over the past 6 months?
Up 60% over 2019 figures, thriving city centres, local tourism and already seeing return guests visiting since only opening in June was not what we expected to hear. This is especially true when one considers that roughly 50% of the tourism market is traditionally comprised of American and European visitors and where contactless payment and at table service is not an every day necessity.
Rocco has a refreshing outlook on the situation. He believes in being smart and obviously abiding by the simple hygiene and distancing rules but importantly, that Covid is something that we are simply going to have to live with, for the time being at least. His thinking is that we ultimately have the ability to see ourselves as in a tunnel and so, we will only ever see darkness or alternatively, we can choose to see ourselves in light and then we will see the opportunities and positivity in business, life and within our communities, which despite the current situation we find ourselves, actually exists all around us.Otros autoresVer publicación -

Hidden Treasure
Clad Global
In the hospitality industry, ideas about wellness are changing,” says Rocco Bova, taking a thoughtful sip of mescal. “We’ve made a conscious decision not to follow the traditional model, where the spa, massages and fitness are at the centre of everything. Instead, we’re focused on the wellness of being.
“For me, that’s about creating happiness, be it through experiences that please the palate, the eyes, the mind and the soul.”

“For me, that’s about creating happiness, be it through experiences that please the palate, the eyes, the mind and the soul.”
As general manager of the globally acclaimed Chablé Yucatán Resort & Spa, hidden deep in Mexico’s Mayan jungle – Bova is a well-placed observer of the changing nature of wellness.
While his five-star hotel does have a genuinely spellbinding spa, and a fitness centre that wants for nothing, he argues that just as important are other factors essential to wellbeing: sublime gastronomy, a profound sense of space, a respect for local culture and, crucially, exquisite design.Otros autoresVer publicación -

Finally working on my own business plan. My brainchild which was on a stand by since years.
