Dirk Bakker, Colliers International Hotels The Adria Hotel Forum has clearly been established as the best platform in terms of information and development for the hotel and tourism sector in the region. Dr. Marco Pappalardo, Südtirol Marketing I would like to congratulate all of you for the magnificent organization of the Adria Hotel Forum. I appreciated the high level of discussions and most of all the self criticism spirit, which is fertilizer for starting a new wave in regional Tourism. Takuya Aoyama, Hyatt International Adria Hotel Forum, which is by all means a small event, is becoming very interesting due to the organiser s openness to new ideas and critical thinking. This is a key regional platform for dialogue and initiatives which can shake up the hotel and tourism industry in Croatia and its neighbors. I very much look forward coming back to AHF!
AHF 2017 theme & programme PROGRAMME FEB 8th 2017 2016-2017 Regional investments outlook (15 min presentations) Development of infrastructure Airline companies vs. Hotels; who comes first? Master planning and how to differentiate destinations and their offer Niche lending sources and financing models in relation to developed markets Management negotiations in emerging marketswhat s different? Safety of todays travel Investors panel FEB 9th 2017 (Parallel sessions) Development of inland tourism (tourism)// Making your project attractive to investors (investment) Travel reasons (tourism)// Is there the best hotel operating model? (investment) New potential markets (tourism)// Selecting the best brand for a hotel investment (investment) THEME Hotel transaction volume in Europe reached record levels in 2015, more than Euro 28,4. billion in comparison to amount of Euro 16,5 billion of transactions in 2014. Yet, Central and Eastern Europe transactions accounted for only 6% of total European transactions while Adriatic region accounted for only 0,9%. The investor profile within Adriatic region defers greatly within each country: in Croatia only 26% of transactions come from cross-global investors, while in Montenegro the percentage raises to 83% and in Slovenia all the investments are made from international investors (100%). Globally, money is not an issue. As example, Asian investors are attracted by the higher property yields and safe investment environments abroad, such as those in North America, Europe and Australia. This trend has resulted in Asian cross-border hotel transactions reaching US $11.0 billion by the end of November, a 24.0% increase from the same period last year. According to a statement from the China Insurance Regulatory Commission in 2015, capital invested in overseas markets accounted for just 1.4% of the total assets in China s insurance industry. Asset acquisitions remain the primary hotel investment vehicle for Asian investors. So, what is the reason of such a low interest for hotel investments in South-Europe? And what is the investment and management models applicable in this part of the world? What differs from developed destinations and what is to be done? Who and when should develop the infrastructure and how the destinations should position themselves? And the most important question of today; is this really the safe part of the world and how can we assure it?
