The key objective of the Summit is to explore the potential impact of these technologies on the real estate and hospitality sector.

“The future of the real estate and hospitality industry is being transformed with technology. Innovations are being quickly pursued by companies that offer an unrivalled experience to the customers.

“Building large complex structures are very expensive and time-consuming. However, companies are combining multiple emerging technologies as drones, 3D printing and automated robots to gather data, automate processes and build structures with more precision, accuracy and speed.

Similarly, hotel technology presents seemingly endless possibilities such as smart controls, virtual reality leads to great improvements and savings for hospitality industry; and are changing how hotel developers plan their buildings, infrastructure, management structure and staffing requirements.

The 13th Edition Hotelier Summit North Africa will share the latest technology-led innovations that are making a mark on the industry. Thought-provoking speakers and facilitators will take centre stage to share their views and ideas about the emerging innovation trends in the hospitality and real estate sector.” added Ravi Kumar Chandran.

The summit will witness participation from over 500 attendees and leverage on innovative technologies to fundamentally transform and lead the way for industry players.

Innovation is not about fostering an individual’s creativity, but about creating a culture that supports creativity, and at Hotelier Summit Africa (North) we aim to showcase not just the innovative technologies, but also display the systems and tools that support innovation.” concluded Ravi Kumar Chandran.

Innovation is a cornerstone of social and economic development, and a key to promoting economic growth, increasing competitiveness as well as providing new job opportunities. Crucial to the continued success of hospitality and real estate sector in Morocco and around the world, the 13th Edition Hotelier Summit Africa (North) will outline emergent innovative trends that will drive the effort among hospitality brands.
