“ I wouldn’t miss IHIF, I come every year because I get the opportunity to start at the beginning of the year to get a great pulse on what is going on in the industry and around the world and particularly here in Europe. I get to catch up with everyone in the industry, a lot of our important partners are here, a lot of other important people in the industry are here. It is wonderful event in terms of substance but also networking so it is great to be here again this year.“
Christopher Nassetta, President and CEO, Hilton

“ It is the event of the year, you have twenty-two hundred people here that you are meeting. Everybody here is a decision maker, so you either you set up business deals together or you acquire new business leads. It’s is also social, where you meet old friends and you gain new friends. I think that it is revenant, we live on putting people together, all the money, all the developers, all the owners, all get together here so it is relevant, if everyone is here it will stay relent. We meet the right people here, there is no one here to sell anything, there is a high entry fee so that’s selects who comes.“

Networking at a Glance
Over 80 companies showcase their products and services in the Exhibition Hall, creating a truly global social experience that cannot be missed. Meet potential partners and learn about key trends and how you can capitalize on them to drive your business forward.
“ What is important about IHIF is that you meet people you only meet two or three times a year but you know you are going to meet or bump into them here so it is network driven. It is about confirming trusting relationships, it is about confirming that what was said the year before is true. It is about reliability, accessibility, there are many things I learn here that if I didn’t come I wouldn’t learn about it. It is about interfacing, I have no regrets in coming every year.“
Sebastien Bazin, Chairman and CEO, AccorHotels
New! Introducing the IHIF Hotel Tech Hub, an interactive space for technology providers to showcase their services to hoteliers looking to innovate and elevate their businesses.

This conference is very relevant, twenty years ago we had about two hundreds participants, look how many we have now, it proves the point. Everybody who is anybody in this business is coming here, it is very relevant.“

International Hotel Investment Forum | Post Show Report 15
An Optimistic OutlookThe overall sentiment throughout the three days was one of optimism, certainly from a trading perspective as Robin Rossman, Managing Director at STR presented the Global Investment Outlook 2018 and noted that occupancies now are almost 10% higher than they were in the previous peak during 2008 and that “during 2018 we expect to see another year of 5%+ RevPAR growth across Europe.” From an investment standpoint, “there is a wall of money looking at the hotel sector at the moment,” according to Keith Lindsay, Managing Director, EMEA, CBRE Hotels who also shared that the CBRE Hotels investor sentiment survey claimed that 37% of investors are looking for capital growth in 2018, against 24% in 2017.
A Note of Caution A note of careful optimism was noted by Coley Brenan, Partner, Head of Europe, KSL Capital Partners, said “there are clouds on the horizon, a lot of industries will be impacted, ours included, but I remain positive” and echoed by Megan Greene, Managing Director and Chief Economist, Manulife Asset Management who provided the economic outlook and noted that the combination of dangerous high debt levels, low productivity and low inflation mean that “secular stagnation is here to stay”.
Announcements At-A-Glance Carlson Rezidor announcing a rebrand to Radisson Hotel Group and the launch of an ambitious five-year operating plan to position the business as one of the top three hospitality companies in the worldDeutsche Hospitality is presenting a new hotel brand: MAXX by Steigenberger to occupy the upscale segment and thus fill an existing space between the brands Steigenberger Hotels and Resorts (luxury and upper upscale), IntercityHotel (upper mid-scale) and Jaz in the City (lifestyle). Roseberg Hospitality announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with Weinberg Capital Partners (WCP) to develop a 350-room Courtyard by Marriott which is scheduled to open in mid 2019, located opposite the “Paris Expo Porte de Versailles” trade fair and the recently inaugurated “Paris Convention Center”. IHG® will acquire a 51-percent stake in Regent Hotels & Resorts and will have the right to acquire the remaining 49-percent interest in a phased manner from 2026.Preferred Hotels & Resorts celebrates its 50-year anniversary. To commemorate this major milestone, the brand has launched a year-long Golden Anniversary campaign that invites travellers to explore its vast portfolio of independent hotels through a series of consumer-driven initiatives.
