ABOUT GASTRO PARK

The journey of Alen Becirovic

My professional journey began with the hotel industry when I graduated from the Higher Vocational School for Hospitality and Tourism in Slovenia.

To delve even deeper into the world of hospitality and management, I attended the KV Business School Administration program in Zurich and then the Cornell University SC Johnson College of Business.

These studies gave me the opportunity to expand my knowledge and at the same time apply the skills I gained in my daily business.

My professional career started with working in hotels in the Slovenian Alps.

There I learned all the skills required to work in the industry. I then completed an internship in the USA.

Now it was time to follow my dream and move to Switzerland, where I worked at Villa Honegg for several years. It was immediately clear that I wanted to continue working in the best hotels in Switzerland in order to learn from the best. So it was only natural that my next employers were the Parkhotel Vitznau in Lucerne, followed by the Carlton Hotel St. Moritz and the famous Baur au Lac in Zurich.

These well-known hotels have enabled me to build up a large and loyal network. What I had learned up to that point shaped my professional and personal development.

To broaden my horizons, I made a transition to the restaurant industry, where I was responsible for accounting and sales. I initially worked as an assistant manager at Hato Restaurant, where I quickly worked my way up to deputy general manager. Through this professional experience, I discovered my passion for wines as well as the entrepreneurial side of the business.

It was only natural that I wanted to have my own company, where I could apply all the skills, experience and passion I had learned.

With GASTRO PARK, I have now been able to realize my dream since 2021. My wife Lucy and I share a common passion for entrepreneurship and business, our extensive experience/skills enable us to offer our customers the best possible service.
