The first-ever webinar on Cross-Border Hotel Investment between the UAE and Israel took place last week, jointly presented by HVS at the Israel Ministry of Tourism, the UAE-Israel Business Council and Copeland Hospitality.

More than 230 delegates from the hospitality industry worldwide gathered online to hear contributions from MK Orit Farkash-Hacohen, Minister of Tourism of the State of Israel, and her ministry colleagues Amir Halevi and Lorin Maugery.

Robin Rossman of STR presented an analysis of the recent performance of hotels in the UAE and Israel, followed by an interview with Kamal Naamani of the Al Habtoor Group and Fleur Hassan-Nahoum of the UAE-Israel Business Council, conducted by Ronit Copeland (Copeland Hospitality).

The event was rounded off by a lively panel discussion between Jonathan Falik (JF Capital Advisors), David Fattal (Fattal Hotels), Arild Hovland (Radisson Hotel Group), Mark Maurice (Ameera Group) and Henry Taic (Classic Hotels Group).
