Dear Hospitality Net reader,

Please join us at the IH&RA 41st Annual Congress to be held 19-22 November in Istanbul, Turkey. Hospitality Net is proud to be part of this not-to-be missed international hospitality conference. The IH&RA Congress theme this year is "Building Business - Building Partnerships" and looks at how the hospitality industry's relationships are evolving with its traditional partners (airlines, tour operators and travel agents) and new partners (those controversial 3rd party e-distribution channels!) as well as at new trends in marketing, development, human resources and technology in both hotels and restaurants. To speak on this are key industry leaders as:

  • Gérard Pélisson, Founding Co-Chairman, Accor Group
  • Stelios Haji-Ioannou, Chairman, EasyGroup (UK) Ltd
  • Richard Snead, President & CEO, Carlson Restaurants Worldwide
