Hotels, Destinations and Resorts Council

ULI Product Councils are designed for industry leaders to meet, exchange ideas, share best practice and foster thought leadership in their sector-specific sector of the real estate market.

Whether at the heart of a local economy based on tourism or providing accommodation for business travellers in a major city, hotels and resorts are an important part of the real estate landscape.

The Hotels, Destinations and Resorts Council brings together leaders from across the spectrum of developers, investors and operators to discuss the issues and opportunities faced by our sector. The council shares its experiences across Europe, but also looks further afield to learn lessons and gain insights from the global tourism and leisure markets. Click here for more information.
