The second annual HVS Caribbean Hotel Investment Conference & Operations Summit welcomed over 200 people and confirmed its ability to successfully bring together the region's most distinguished hospitality leaders.

The conference's theme, Accessing International Investment, was well-received by attendees both local and foreign. A special lunch presentation showcased the tremendous success the four CHICOS Task Forces have made since the inaugural 2011 conference in tackling direct challenges to the Caribbean tourism industry.

The positive reception from last month's premier conference continues to emerge, and HVS is on the path to organizing CHICOS 2013. Next year's conference has already garnered support from major brands, investment groups, and lenders strong in the region. Next year's delegates will be welcomed at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic on November 7th and 8th, 2013. With the strong focus on tourism in the Dominican Republic, CHICOS will undoubtedly continue to attract key players in the industry and create lasting, innovative relationships to strengthen the region and those involved in the market.
