About the conference
The Hotel Investors Meeting is one of the most important events in Poland’s hotel investment market, bringing together investors, property owners, developers, operators, general contractors, and hospitality industry leaders. The event provides a platform for discussions on real challenges and market trends—ranging from investment strategies and operational efficiency to the design and management of modern hotel properties.
12th Edition – Trends Shaping the Future of the Market
The program for this year’s edition focuses on the key trends shaping the hotel market in Poland and Europe. The starting point will be an analysis of changes in tourism—both in terms of demand and Poland’s role as a destination on the international stage.
Experts will also address the topic of hotel operational efficiency in a mature market, comparing financial data with actual results and forecasts for the coming years. Particular attention will be paid to strategies for building profitability and the differences between the approaches of global chains and local operators.
Business Models and Investment Optimization
One of the key themes will be the direction of hotel product development—from the high-end and luxury segment to the increasingly popular SMART hotel model, based on cost optimization and a focus on real value for the guest.
The program will also cover issues related to the design and operation of hotels within a long-term investment horizon. Experts will demonstrate how decisions made during the concept and construction phases impact a property’s profitability for decades to come—from functional layout and materials to energy management and team organization.
New Features and Revenue Streams
Another key element of the discussion will be the role of additional hotel amenities, including the development of wellness & spa zones—both as a market standard and as a tool for building competitive advantage and diversifying revenue.
