Return to Headlines
In 2010, the annual per capita disposable income of China's urban residents was US$2,900, up 11.3% year-on-year (source: National Bureau of Statistics of China). Chinese citizens are now spending more on travel, contributing to the hotel market boom.

To keep up with and stay ahead of the strong competition, most of you will already have an aggressive development/expansion plan in place for 2011. Whether you are a new or experienced industry player, you will want to ensure that the risks of developing a hotel are reduced and that your ventures are commercially viable.

  • The Positioning and Feasibility of Your Hotel Project
  • Integrating Architectural Design to Technical Specifications
  • Structuring the Deal Right
  • Panel Discussion and Q&A
