Hotelier Express Summit 2016 preview

Welcome

Governments and private investors across the Middle East are embracing the opportunities available in the mid-market and budget hospitality sector as they look to broaden their international offering and ensure their countries have the necessary rooms for marquee events. In turn, this means operators are being joined by global brands, which are introducing a wide range of mid-scale and budget offerings across the Gulf. It is against this backdrop of growing demand for more affordable hotel accommodation that Hotelier Express Middle East will host its inaugural summit at the Grosvenor House.

Sponsorship

The Hotelier Express Middle East Summit will bring together more than 100 leading hoteliers from the mid-level, budget and serviced apartment market. Attendance is by invitation only and will represent the decision makers across the sector. As such, it is an ideal place to position your brand, meet potential new customers and existing clients.
