The 2019 CHRIS Conference Kicks Off in Miami
By Jorge Coromina
The Caribbean Hotel & Resort Investment Summit (CHRIS) opened Tuesday at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel in Florida with a number of boldface names in attendance.
The event, which comes to a close on Thursday March 23, will have a plenary discussion featuring heads of government from the British Virgin Islands, the USVI and Saint Martin, which will be moderated by Frank Comito, CEO and Director General of the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association.
Financiers and investment executives will network with hotel owners, builders, hotel chain managers, government officials and media, generating productive exchanges and partnerships at the summit.
More than 30 percent of attendees at CHRIS are chief executives, presidents, or owners of companies, making it one of the most keenly attended conferences focused on the Caribbean.
What Is CHRIS?
The Caribbean Hotel & Resort Investment Summit (CHRIS) is the Caribbean’s most noteworthy hotel investment conference. With over a decade of experience in bringing the hotel/tourism investment community together in the Caribbean, the host of CHRIS has created a conference which is innovative, timely, and focused.
CHRIS immediately follows a second important event, the HOLA conference. The back-to-back nature of the two events is a great way for the hotel investment community that is interested not only in the Caribbean, but also in the Latin America region, to conduct their business while in Miami.
The number one reason to attend CHRIS is the networking. With more than 30 percent of delegates holding titles like Chairman, CEO, President, and Owner, CHRIS has become the “must attend” event for leading companies with a focus on the Caribbean.
The lineup of speakers for the three-day event will features Louis Alicea from Wyndham Hotels & Resorts; Sanjay M. Amin, from BCQS International; Ruben Becerra, Vice President of Corporate Affairs & Business Development for Karisma Hotels & Resorts, and U.S. Virgin Islands Governor Albert Bryan Jr., among other top figures.
