Hotelivate hosted the 17th Edition of its Hotel Investment Conference - South Asia (HICSA) at the Grand Hyatt, Mumbai, on 06-07 April 2022. This annual event is India's largest hospitality investment conference. This year, it saw well over 400 delegates in attendance representing various businesses across the hospitality spectrum, which indicated a turning point in the industry's recovery.
After a hiatus because of a global pandemic, an entirely in-person conference was a much-needed welcome change. A collection of presentations, keynotes, interviews, and panel discussions covered many themes and topics as industry stalwarts addressed the challenges hospitality has faced in the past two years and highlighted the growth potential and investment opportunities as we advance.
The two-day hospitality-focused conference was indeed a success. It provided a much-needed boost to one of the worst-affected industries in the country, with some of its most prominent thought-leaders and trend-setters uniting under one roof. This year was also unique as it saw a fantastic gender representation with more than 20% women speakers and new perspectives being shared with 55% speakers as first-time speakers.
