by Arturo Garcia Rosa - President & CEO, SAHIC Group

With less than two months to go until the 19th edition of the SAHIC Hotel & Tourism Investment Forum - Latin America and The Caribbean, the agenda will delve into an in-depth analysis of the current economic scenario and its outlook, covering market performance, trends, and inspirations. All of this will be based on discussions involving some of the most influential leaders in the segment.

We will explore the economic landscape of Latin America and the Caribbean from the perspective of economists from CAF – Development Bank of Latin America, and gain insights from prominent figures, such as those of Camil Yazbeck, Global Chief Development Officer for Premium, Midscale & Economy divisions at Accor; and Leeny Oberg, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Development at Marriott International.

The debates will also combine specific market analyses with inspiring conversations, led by key players who promote positive changes in the market.  Panels on condo-hotels and timeshare, branded residences, hotel franchises, innovation, among others, will highlight the challenges and opportunities that the region can offer to investors.

The event will offer multiple moments to foster successful relationships. Without a doubt, the Pre-Forum Cocktail scheduled for the evening of March 23 and the traditional Welcome Cocktail on Monday, March 24, both set against the stunning backdrop of Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, will be unmissable.

Given so many opportunities, I hope to see you in Rio de Janeiro!
