Rooms for growth
EventsHospitality is one sector that seems to be doing fine and sailing safely across the stormy waters of the global economy. Or at least it was difficult not to come away with this impression from this year's meeting of the industry, organised by Eurobuild Conferences
More than a hundred people gathered for the conference at the InterContinental hotel in Warsaw on March 26th. "In 2012 the travel and tourism sector grew faster than the production, retail, financial or telecommunication sectors. The number of travellers exceeded a billion and a further increase in this number can be expected," declared Michal Kušnier (Cushman & Wakefield). There was just as much optimism when discussing Poland. The first panel, moderated by Janusz Mitulski (Horwath HTL), considered whether hotel chains would manage to take a larger chunk of the market. "The openings of Hilton or Marriott in some locations is leading independent hoteliers to look for support from other chains, and this is stimulating our development," said Małgorzata Morek (Orbis). Wojciech Popis (Vision Hotel Management) pointed out that securing the support of a large chain is often necessary for independent hoteliers, whether they are considering the sale of their hotel or a loan.
