The Resort & Residential (R&R) Hospitality Forum by Questex Hospitality, the EMEA’s only event dedicated to the resort, leisure, and residential investment sector, is set to take place in Athens during November 18-20.

The premier event will take place at the Athenaeum InterContinental Athens and bring together industry leaders, investors, developers, and hospitality professionals for insightful discussions, networking, and collaboration, staying ahead of the evolving investment landscape.

Questex: Greece connects the East and West

Placed in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Greece is the connecting link between East and the West, with a market that ranks both cultural, historical but also very appealing from a leisure perspective.

Athens, with its unique blend of history, culture, and modern vibrancy, serves as an ideal backdrop for fostering meaningful connections and driving innovation in the leisure and residential investment domain across Europe and the Middle East.

“We are thrilled to bring the R&R Hospitality Forum to Athens, a city that perfectly embodies the intersection of rich cultural heritage and modern innovation,” said Joe Stather, VP and Market Leader, Questex Travel & Hospitality.

Theme: Big Ambitions, Big Results

The 2024 theme – Big Ambitions, Big Results – celebrates the expansive growth within the leisure and residential hospitality sectors while recognizing diverse investor interests. Curated by industry leaders and the Advisory Board, the theme sets the stage for discussions on managing diverse assets, targeting key destinations, and understanding market risks.

“By uniting top-tier professionals from around the globe, we aim to foster meaningful connections and drive strategic initiatives that will shape the future of hospitality investment,” Stather said.

“Athens offers an inspiring backdrop for these discussions, and we look forward to unlocking new potentials in this dynamic market,” he added.
