Let's talk about...
...Green Hospitality –The Balance between Ecology and Economy
On the occasion of Heimtextil 2012, the German Hotel Association (IHA) again will address the issue of sustainability in the hotel industry and will offer practical tips and suggestions. Renowned speakers will inform the audience about the balance between ecology and economy in the hotel business.
All lectures will be translated simultaneously into English.
… „Future Hotel" by AIT
Ready-made hotels, budget hotels or serviced apartments concepts - the hotel sector brims with ideas and concepts for creative lifestyles. At the same time, the desire for expansion of chain hotels seems unstoppable. The benefit: in Germany we can enjoy international hotel brands such as Jumeirah in Frankfurt or Waldorf Astoria in Berlin. The disadvantage: privately-owned hotels are under enourmous pressure. New ideas wanted!
The International Hotel Application Award will honour the best hotel concept developed in Europe. In addition, the speech series titled "Future Hotel" will enlighten participants about future-oriented hotel projects through presentations and discussions.
All lectures will be translated simultaneously into English.
