The FORWARD_ story

Madrid, 2019.
Born to build it.

The imminent arrival of the Four Seasons — and the wave of major international hotel brands that would follow — was about to radically transform the city's tourism ecosystem. With them would come a traveler profile virtually unknown until then: experienced, sophisticated, extraordinarily demanding.

Madrid had the most valuable raw material: an incomparable historical heritage, world-class gastronomy and a way of life that few destinations can match. But true luxury is not improvised — nor inherited. It requires training, information, coordination and sophistication. That complex product didn't exist. FORWARD_ was born to create it.

01 The Forward_
Project

We accompany tourist destinations throughout the entire process: from a deep analysis of their offer and potential demand, to creating a complex, sophisticated and differentiated luxury tourism product, including its commercialisation and distribution through the right channels. All supported by a comprehensive Marketing and Communication strategy — in B2B and B2C — designed to position the destination on the international luxury travel map.

02 THE
CLUB

Luxury is also knowing where to be, and when. The Club is our luxury agenda, curated weekly with a meticulous selection of the most relevant openings, plans and events of the week — in art, culture, gastronomy, shopping, fashion and lifestyle. All the luxury offering of your city, on a single platform. Your territory, your brand, and the Forward_ methodology.

03 Specialised
Consulting

Luxury has its own rules. Its own codes, behaviours and rhythms. We accompany companies, associations and tourist destinations that want to operate in this segment with the excellence it demands — from defining a clear strategy to building a memorable client experience, including loyalty programmes, brand positioning and marketing aimed at the high-value traveller. Because in luxury, details are not a complement. They are the product.

Institutional backing

FORWARD_ —
acquired by
Andersen Consulting.

In late 2024, FORWARD_ was acquired by Andersen Consulting Spain — one of the Big Five international consulting firms — with the aim of providing the project with the resources, structure and muscle needed to scale to new tourist destinations and expand its value proposition.

The integration brings to the FORWARD_ ecosystem a layer of consulting and business intelligence services that its clients and partners had been demanding, consolidating a truly comprehensive model. FORWARD_ maintains its focus on developing luxury tourism in emerging destinations, incorporating new verticals: fashion, automotive, jewellery, art and culture, gastronomy, longevity and technology. An alliance that multiplies the project's capabilities without altering its essence — or its ambition.
