HotelsWorld is the leading annual conference for hotel owners and investors in Australia and New Zealand.

2018 looks like it will be another record year in Australia and New Zealand, with hotels and alternative forms of guest accommodation continuing to be built, purchased, branded, and managed.

The fundamental question therefore remains: are these the best of times for the local accommodation industry, or are our best days still ahead of us?
