“Looking back 20 years, looking forward 20 years” : conto alla rovescia per la ventesima edizione di IHIF , in programma dal 6 all’ 8 marzo a Berlino

Looking back 20 years, looking forward 20 years

As the International Hotel Investment Forum (IHIF) celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2017 (from 6th – 8th March), the conference programme will reflect on how the sector has changed during that period, how it is likely to evolve in the years to come and how to succeed in new market conditions.
