Adria Hotel Forum;

The Adria Hotel Forum is a leading Southeast European hotel investment conference held every year in Zagreb, Croatia and visited by regional and international hotel industry experts. The fifth edition of AHF will be held on February 8th and 9th 2017.

The Adria Hotel Forum‘s goal is to emphasize communication and exchange of viewpoints as well as the presentation of worldwide examples that have ensured tourism development within their respective regions. The forum is envisioned as a group of selected industry participants who can bring important and necessary structural changes with their actions.

In one place, it gathers all the relevant actors including international experts, presidents and members of the boards of the largest regional and global hotel companies, ministers, investors, institutional representatives, financial institutions, consultants, architects, lawyers and other experts.Until now AHF has gathered more than 1200 participants, 180 panelists, 15 institutional partners, 30 media partners and over 80 partners and sponsors.

Main theme in 2017 is: "Investments in hotel industry: Development and beyond" and the questioned raised behind the theme are: What is the reason of a low interest for hotel investments in South-Europe? What is the investment and management models applicable in this part of the world? What differs from developed destinations and what is to be done? Who and when should develop the infrastructure and how the destinations should position themselves? And the most important question of today; is this really the safe part of the world and how can we assure it?
