www.scm-middleeast.com Naseba, a leading business information company, introduces the first annual Islamic Hotel Expansion Congress on December 3rd-4th, 2007 at the Hilton Jumeirah hotel in Dubai.
The Islamic hospitality market is currently growing at a fast pace in the Middle East as well as in many popular international destinations favoured by Middle Eastern travellers, such as the UK and Germany. Islamic travellers have specific travel requirements to which Islamic hotels respond. They comply with Shari’ah rules and focus on values such as family and health, innovative value-added services, and unique design elements derived form traditional Islamic architecture. That is why they have gained a significant competitive advantage on the hospitality market and have succeeded not only in attracting Islamic but also international travellers who desire to experience true Islamic hospitality during their stay. The Islamic hospitality industry has a potential of growth that financial institutions, always looking to offer new and innovative products by developing new vehicles for investment, have clearly understood. As the Islamic real estate market is already well established, financiers are now looking into that industry, which appears to represent a very profitable investment. The Islamic Hotel Expansion Congress gives the opportunity to Islamic hotel operators, developers, banks, private equity firms, real estate firms, asset management companies, hospitality consulting companies and financiers to find strategic partners, to network, share knowledge and learn about strategies that could help them in their expansion and investment projects. Participants will attend exclusive conference sessions led by professionals involved in Islamic Hotel expansion and experts from the hotel industry, namely: Naseem Javed, President, ABC Namebank International
Amgad Sobhy, SVP, Financial Control & Strategic Planning, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Aberahman Belgat, Managing Director, Saudi Arabia, Accor Jalil Mekouar, Executive Vice President, Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels Mustafa Al Saleh, Vice Chairman, Managing Director and CEO, Adeem Investments Armine Mourkazel, SVP & MD, Golden Tulip Hotels Binod Narasimhan, Chief Financial Officer, Istithmar Hamza Farooqi, CEO, CII Holdings Kamal Eldarrat, Chief Development Officer, ARADY Shadi Sedhinejad, Snr Legal Consultant, Islamic Finance & Finance, DLA Piper
The speakers will discuss the opportunities related to the globalisation of Shari’ah Compliant Hospitality, the concept of global branding and positioning of Islamic hospitality, the four mega forces at play in the GCC.
