23rd Hunter Hotel Investment Conference to Examine How to Take Full Advantage of Rebounding Hotel Economy

ATLANTA, GA,  Jan. 19, 2011—Officials of the upcoming Hunter Hotel Investment Conference, one of the four major national annual hotel investment conferences, today unveiled its agenda noting that it will focus primarily on strategies hoteliers can use to take full advantage of the rebounding hotel economy. 

The 23rd annual event will take place on March 6-8, 2011, at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis (lower right photo) in Georgia.

“Registration is strong, reflecting the rebounding hotel economy and the resultant positive attitude,” said Bob Hunter (top right photo), CEO of Hunter Realty and conference co-chair.

 “Owners are telling us they are anxious to step away from their hotels, where they have been hunkered down to survive the hard downturn. 

“They want to talk to other owners and hear industry experts help them determine how best to proceed to take full advantage of what they anticipate to be the beginning of a long-awaited turnaround. 

“In most sectors of the industry, there are growing signs of new activity; renovations are being considered and more real estate deals are getting done. 

“After two years of kicking the can down the road, people are ready to kick-start their hotels and acquisition activities.  We believe this will spark more deals to be initiated at this year’s conference than any in the past few years.”

“We are getting particularly strong positive response to the topics of hotel real estate values and finance,” said Lee Hunter (middle left photo), Conference co-chair.  “The speakers and timely topics, plus the networking opportunities, are very compelling at this phase of the cycle.”

 “Our conference is targeted to, and draws the greatest percentage of hotel owners of any of the major hotel investment conferences,” he noted.

 “The Conference content this year is especially targeted to that group to provide them with the creative strategies to take optimum advantage of the rebound.”

The Hunter Hotel Investment Conference will present more than 100 speakers from 27 states in 25 sessions.
