Business Outlook Seminar

Presentations from the event are now online here: https://www.nihf.co.uk/resources/

Hosted by veteran journalist Mark Simpson, we’ll be examining opportunities and issues for the coming year, looking at a reinvigorated hotel pipeline, the finance support required to underpin it and delving into the data with hotel performance and forecast from leading benchmarking firm STR.

Details on a new all-island sustainability scheme will be revealed with discussion on practical tips on how to grow and disperse economic benefit while understanding how green credentials are imperative to future success. 

The event is ideally suited to general managers, hotel sales, marketing, and revenue managers as well as those who want a better understanding of the current market.
