SAHIC South America 2018 is a growing annual event which promotes business around the hotel industry, tourism and real estate projects in Latin America.
Why in Medellín?
Tourism drives the economy of our region. In the last decade, local and foreign investment in hotel infrastructure in Medellín has increased 76% and corporate events have grown 500%. The city has achieved an average annual hotel occupancy of 63%, and in 2017 we received more than 700,000 travelers, among foreigners and Colombians living abroad. All these achievements have been the result of joint work between Medellín, Antioquia, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism (MINCIT) and Procolombia, articulated with the Development Plan 2014-2018 Todos por un Nuevo País.
More than 400 executives and investors from more than 20 countries around the world are expected to arrive in the city. This event consists of two days of intense work, meetings, networking and opportunities, which reaffirm the strong business climate prevailing in South America. For those who have ongoing projects or to be developed in Latin America, this is undoubtedly a must-attend event. It is a business meeting for business people of the hotel and tourism sector.
The event will be held in Medellín between September 24 and 25, 2018. It is a fantastic opportunity for this industry to grow not only in the city but also in Colombia. It will allow locals and foreigners to explore new businesses, build relationships and increase the development of the sector.
