Global Lodging Forum 2007 - The return of the “golden years ”

For its 11th edition – and the second at the Four Seasons George V in Paris – the Global Lodging Forum mobilized 60 speakers and 400 participants around a strategic question: How can we get the most out of the return of the golden years? Backed by a growing number of partners, this major event for the hotel industry organized by MKG Worldwide and HTR Magazine has met with growing success. For one and a half days, the debates were exemplary; the discussions and confrontation of ideas reached a rare level. The Forum went global in its approach to all the aspects of the hotel world, from architecture to commercialization, marketing to Revenue management, from financing to progress of the RevPAR. Interventions by important figures from outside the industry – audiovisual, politics, financial analysis and the luxury world made it possible to achieve broader horizons and take inspiration from other experiences. Here are just a few highpoints from the round tables, led by specialized journalists from the sector: Helena Dupuy from La Tribune, Eric de la Chesnais from Figaro Economie and Bruno Courtin from HTR.For its 11th edition – and the second at the Four Seasons George V in Paris – the Global Lodging Forum mobilized 60 speakers and 400 participants around a strategic question: How can we get the most out of the return of the golden years?
