Hear about the exciting growth in travel
in Russia, CIS, and Georgia. Several world
renowned sporting events taking place in these
elusive regions is increasing demand for quality
hotel accommodations. With many international
chains penetrating the area in the next few years,
HVS Moscow expects most markets to absorb
the coming supply and allow the hotel values to
grow. Expected compound annual growth rate in
2013 through 2017 is 5.7 percent across the region,
with four markets out of 14 forecasted to be higher
than eight percent within the next five years! Our
panel will share where and why they are eyeing
the challenges of breaking into this new market…
and what works and what doesn’t in terms of
design in these cultures.
