A compass to navigate the complex current economic and social scenario and to anticipate the future
Just over 2 months to go: on October 17 and 18 in Rome, ITHIC, the Italian Hospitality Investment Conference returns, one of the top 4 events in Europe for investments in tourism and hospitality infrastructure.
Experts and professionals from the real estate and financial sectors will meet at the Villa Pamphili Hotel for two days of intense sectoral presentations and round tables, all aimed at interpreting the trends that will shape our future as a world-leading tourist destination: the sustained levels of interest rates, geopolitical imbalances, Italy's role in Europe’s commercial strategy chessboard, the role of new incoming markets (India), future formats and platforms (senior living hotels/hostels, student hotels, etc.), trends beyond hospitality (tourist trains), and much more.
Among the speakers will be prominent figures from finance, branding, and development: Mario Abbadessa, CEO of Hines Italy; Paolo Barletta, CEO of Arsenale; Sir Rocco Forte of RFH; Olivier Harnisch of PIF Fund's Board of Directors; Nicola Maione, President of MPS; Livio Stracca from the European Central Bank's Macroprudential Policy & Financial Stability; Simon Vincent, President of Hilton Europe; and Josef Vollmayr, CEO of Limehome. Numerous investment funds are expected, including Hines, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, Azora, Limestone Capital, Bain Capital, and many others. An unprecedented gathering of analysts, experts, legal advisors, and brokers is expected for this sixth edition, which will also feature many social activities and discussions.

While real estate markets will continue to be carefully scrutinized alongside more liquid financial markets (equities, bonds, utilities, etc.), hotel real estate, according to analysts, is expected to remain healthy over the next two years 2025-2026.
Many panels will feature new formats, with country reports presented by analysts from Oxford Economics, STR Global, Hotstats, Thrends, and Cornell University.
This sixth edition is expected to host 950 participants from 3 continents (Europe, USA, Asia) and 15 countries. A unique date in the Italian hospitality landscape, it is becoming much more international, driven by the strategic support of its new partner Questex, owner of the world's top 5 hospitality real estate events.
A new feature for 2024 in Rome: a Press Conference program will be added, allowing accredited journalists to schedule interviews with CEOs of major hotel groups, banks, and investment funds, with access to recordings and dedicated Q&A sessions.
