The 17th China Hotel Global Forum which discussed the opportunities and challenges facing hotel development in China has concluded recently after rounds of speeches and panel discussions in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province.

The annual forum initiated by the China Hotel Magazine and jointly hosted by Asia Pacific Hotel Association (APHA), China Real Estate Chamber of Commerce (CRECC) and China Hotel Industry Celerity Club welcomed an attendance of over 1,000 people.

Paying tribute to the remarkable performance of the hotel industry in China, the forum is dedicated to the contribution of the country's service industry.

During the round table discussion held right after the opening ceremony, the guests were engaged in talks on how to provide an impeccable hotel service in response to demands of the industry.

In the ensuing panel sessions, the topics addressed generally focused on investments and acquisitions, shared hotels, the most influential restaurants and online tourism.

Besides, CRECC chaired an inauguration for its new members including Huazhu Group and Rosewood Hotel Group during the banquet on the first night of the forum. Meanwhile, the China Hotel Industry Celebrity Club celebrated Dong Zhenxiang's inauguration, who is the chairman of the board of Dadong Food and Beverage Investment Co Ltd.

During the second day, Yang Honghao, deputy researcher of the data center of the China National Tourism Administration and deputy director of China Tourism Academy, released a ranking of hotel management. The issuance was followed by a string of panel discussions that addressed the hotels' natural surroundings and horticulture, distinctive accommodations, catering financing and cross-industry cooperation. Later, attendees debated on whether investors should be involved in the management of hotels, how to tighten the control of senior executives' mandated powers and obligations and how management can match the interests and values of Chinese hotels.

Li Fugen, the spokesman of the forum committee and vice president of China Internet Information Center gave a brief introduction of the upcoming award ceremony of the 17th China Hotel Golden Horse at a news conference held on March 22.

In addition, conferences of directors from the China Real Estate Association and promotional events for brands of Chinese hotels in 2017 were held at the forum.
