Opportunities and Challenges Facing the Caribbean Hospitality and Tourism Sectors
Within the Caribbean Island region, the various destinations offer investors complex but rewarding opportunities for hotel and resort development and acquisition. The inaugural HVS Caribbean Hotel Investment Conference & Operations Summit (HVS CHICOS) will provide a productive forum to address issues pertinent to the current needs of the Caribbean hospitality sector and to discuss the various opportunities for investors in the Caribbean.

Hosted by HVS, the world?s leading hospitality consulting and valuation firm, HVS CHICOS will bring together global investors and operators as well as local Caribbean decision-makers to address the many challenges and opportunities of the Caribbean hotel industry. HVS will use part of the proceeds from this conference for hospitality and tourism education and training of Caribbean residents.

HVS CHICOS 2011 follows in HVS?s tradition of organizing leading hotel conferences around the world, including the NYU Hospitality Investment Conference in New York and annual conferences in China, India, South America, and Mexico. HVS looks forward to welcoming you to Nassau, Bahamas, on November 10-11 for HVS CHICOS 2011, where the hospitality industry?s many illustrious global and regional influencers will share their views, insights, and proposed strategies for advancing the hospitality and tourism sectors in the Caribbean in 2011 and beyond.
