Miroslav Dragicevic, Managing Partner of Horwath HTL (Hotels Tourism and Leisure), Croatia is hosting a panel at Europe's premier Hotel Investment Conference, The International Hotel Investment Conference (IHIF) in Berlin on the 5th of March.
The panel, called "From a tourism Master Plan to reality - financing your hotel project in emerging markets" looks at hotel projects in emerging or developing markets and will offer a guide on how to take your hotel project from the tourism master plan, all the way through financing and development.
Joining Miroslav in conversation are some of the leading experts in the hotel master planning and development industry. Mike Collini Vice President Development – Turkey, Russia and Eastern Europe, Hilton Worldwide, Otmar Michaeler Chief Executive Officer, Falkensteiner Michaeler Tourism Group, Ryley Thiessen Senior Resort Designer / Project Manager, Ecosign Mountain Resort Planners Ltd and Kevin Underwood Vice President, AECOM Design + Planning.
Miroslav said, "In emerging markets, or mature markets looking to strategically reposition their tourism offering, the importance of master planning to Hotel Development and financing cannot be overstated. Our experience shows that developers and constructors will find it easier to get financing with the backing of a professional master plan ordered by the local or regional government. In many of the so-called emerging markets, the process is key to the long-term economic viability of a region that has tourism as a driver. The goal of the panel will be to highlight the process of hotel development, starting with the master plan and then building in all of the other elements required to complete and construct."
