Central Asia & Turkey Hotel Investment Conference (CATHIC) Large

The organisers of CATHIC and EMITT have signed an agreement to work alongside each other to strengthen the links between the hotel investment industry and the travel and tourism sector. Both take place in Istanbul and will offer a smooth transition from one to the other, so delegates are able to take advantage of the benefits of each event:

  • CATHIC will take place from 7 – 9 February 2011 at the InterContinental Istanbul
  • EMITT from 10 – 13 February 2011 at the TUYAP Exhibition Centre.

“We are delighted to be working with EMITT to shine an international spotlight on this exciting part of the world,” said Jonathan Worsley, Chairman of Bench Events. CATHIC and EMITT will support each other’s events bringing close and beneficial links between the two related sectors.

EMITT is in its 15th successful year of providing a meeting point for regional travel and tourism. CATHIC has been launched to meet the demands of a need for an annual gathering of the hotel investment community in the area. It will bring an array of industry leaders from around the world to the conference, who will share their knowledge and experience on the latest trends and best practice in a series of high-powered panels, with smaller in-depth breakout sessions on specific topics.
