Andrew Sangster explains what the event is all about
“The conference is now in its seventh year and has evolved a reputation for asking the difficult questions – even if we cannot promise to always provide the answers. HDE is where hotel investors and hotel operators get to discuss the strategy of hotel distribution. It is a platform for thought leadership rather platitudinous presentations,” says Andrew Sangster, owner of Hotel Analyst and creator of HDE.
