Mark your calendar for the next CHIS 2008 | 16 - 18 April 2008!
Congratulations to all 2007 Award Recipients for their achievements in the hospitality industry!
With an overwhelming response from nearly 600 delegates from more than 30 countries worldwide this year, the CHIS 2007 was a roaring success. It was three days of exciting networking opportunities as key players from within the hotel industry including Accor, BISU, China Jinmao Group, CNTA, Coastal Commercial Developments, Colony Capital, Home Inn, IHG, Istithmar, Jinling, Jumeirah, Kingdom Hotel Investments, Lehman Brothers, Lingnan, Marriott,...
Following the grand opening reception held at 789 Nan Jin Lu at Le Royal Meridien, the next two days was a series of remarkable events. Inaugurated by our Guest-of-Honour, Marilyn Carlson Nelson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Carlson, an impressive keynote address was given by Ho Kwon Ping, Executive Chairman of Banyan Tree Holdings on the future of the hospitality industry in adapting to changing travel patterns.
The summit was followed by dynamic discussions highlighting on "Investment in China's Hospitality Real Estate " by leaders of the industry. Questions were put forward and issues tackled as high-profile personalities from several of the world's most successful hospitality firms revealed their best business practices.
Indeed, the CHIS is not only the place to meet, network and make deals but it also serves as a valuable learning platform for those in the hospitality industry.
Most importantly, we would like to thank all our supporters, patrons, media partners, moderators, panelists and delegates who have in one way or another helped make the CHIS 2007 another record breaking year. We look forward to seeing you in the next CHIS 2008 as we continue to give you great insights into this fast-growing industry.
