Next up ... Macau

Questex Media, our parent company, owns two popular international investment conferences, the International Hotel Investment Forum (IHIF) held in Berlin; and the Russia & CIS Hotel Investment Conference, which just wrapped up in Moscow a couple of weeks ago.

Just today, we announced that a third exciting show is being launched in 2009: IHIF Asia Pacific, to be held in Macau, June 8-10, 2009.

“The launch of IHIF Asia Pacific is a perfect fit based on the emerging Asian markets and our mission to serve the hotel investment community through the development of leading investment conferences,” said Liz Crawford, global director, IHIF and hotel events for Questex. “The conference will address the enormous potential for hotel investors, developers, operators and consultants around the world, especially in the Asia Pacific region where there is positive upswing in tourism dollars as well as projects in the pipeline. IHIF Asia Pacific will cover all the major regions in Asia and provide key decision makers with first-class networking opportunities and conference programming about the continuing shift of economic power to the Asian market so vital to their future success in hotel investment.”

The conference is scheduled for the much-talked about Venetian Macau Resort Hotel. It is sponsored by CB Richard Ellis Hotels Group and by media sponsors such as our own Hotel & Motel Management, Hotel Design, Luxury Hotelier and The Hotel Times magazines.

This will certainly be one of the “must attend” events in 2009, and we look forward to seeing you there. More details will follow in the coming months.
