For Thomas Dubaere, participation in SAHIC is a strategic opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences, in addition to positioning the Group's advantages as a leading player in the sector: "Accor offers an unrivaled ecosystem, leveraging experiences to meet the needs of owners and customer expectations: in addition to our leading hotel brands, our activities span many experiences including nothing less than food and beverage, entertainment and lifestyle, flexible workspace and co-working solutions, private rentals, residential services, wellness and concierge services,” he points out.
The CEO of Accor Americas will participate in the panel "The vision of the leaders", moderated by the renowned journalist Peter Greenberg, travel editor for CBS News.
Regarding the call, the president and CEO of SAHIC, Arturo García Rosa, stated that: "We promised to continue growing in a destination that represents both the Caribbean and Latin America in March 2023, replicating in the most successful way possible our 2022 appointment, the first held in person after two editions during the pandemic".
