TourismROI LLC announced that it has been selected as the Official Destination Sponsor for the International Hotel Investment Forum (IHIF) 2009 to be held in Berlin, Germany in March 2009. According to the parties involved this partnership opens the door for destinations around the world to showcase their investment opportunities directly to Europe’s largest group of senior hospitality industry executives and investors.
"During the current economic and financial crisis, one of the biggest challenges for destinations is to provide sufficient information and context to position, promote and differentiate their investment opportunities to potential investors," said Richard Miller, chief executive officer of TourismROI. "This is what TourismROI does best. Our primary focus is to help destinations organize and structure their information so they can put their best foot forward when investors come looking. At IHIF we’re taking that mission one step further and giving them the opportunity to network and pitch their opportunities directly to Europe’s senior industry influencers."
Launched in March 2008, TourismROI is a unique centralized source of information for tourism operations, development and investment opportunities worldwide. The web site www.TourismROI.com provides extensive and real-time destination-specific information about the tourism industry to enable participants to make current and future operating, business and investment decisions, speeding up the entire investment and business decision-making process.
"IHIF’s desire to join forces with us represents a major vote of confidence for TourismROI," Miller added. "The synergies are clear between what we’re doing online to connect destinations with potential investors and developers, and what IHIF has been doing for 12 years to bring these groups together in Berlin to network and do business. Through our extensive network of key developing destinations, TourismROI will encourage greater participation at this event."
Jonathan Worsley, co-organiser of IHIF and Chairman of Bench Events, said "We are delighted to be working with TourismROI at IHIF 2009. For the past 12 years our objective has been to provide a forum to enable the highest level networking. IHIF is the perfect meeting place for tourism officials from around the world to meet investors, developers and operators seeking industry partners."
