Agenda
Coming SoonThe programme* to include:
Around the Franchise World…in 10 Minutes
Partner and Co-Head of Bird&Bird’s international Franchising group, Graeme Payne, will provide an overview of hot topics and themes in the franchise world, including:
- Territories seeing or predicting a spike in franchising
- Major markets that have introduced new franchise laws in the last 12 months and those that will do so in the next 12 months
- A summary of key topics arising in franchise negotiations
CEO of HOFTEL, the association of hotel owners and franchisees, Simon Allison, will ask if franchising is the way forward for hotel owners:
- Most owners like the idea of brands – but few of them like the standard HMA structure
- Franchising has emerged as a strong alternative, both for self-managed and white-label operated hotels
- Owners need to be aware that there are still issues to overcome in getting this to work for them
Panelists will be drawn from hotel owners, operators, investors, brands and distribution agencies
Moderated by Russell Kett, Chairman of HVS London
