HOSPITALITY + LEISURE

Low budget, budget design, hostels and B&B concepts - the budget and economy sector of the hotel industry is growing rapidly. On the other hand, five-star mega resorts are very successful as well. Is there a trend of segmentation, with growth strongest at the lower and upper end of the market? Are hotel companies fully embracing the opportunities offered by leisure destinations, like arenas or large shopping centres? What will the market share be of extended stay concepts, which are eventually coming to Europe?

These and other topics, will be discussed in panels and workshops in this section:

- budget hotels

- luxury + lifestyle

- resorts

- extended stay

- sports arenas

inspire conference: more than just real estate - value, lifestyle, environment!
