Mark Nogal Regional Head, Focused Service Brand Management EMEA, Hilton Worldwide

Following his ‘Mid-market Sector Strategies’ session, Mark gave us his predictions for 2016 and beyond. Here’s what he had to say:

The key points:

• Hilton worldwide and it’s focused service brands will continue to open hotels.
• Hilton have hotels under construction not only in Dubai, but in Saudi Arabia, and are looking at other locations such as Qatar.
• Hilton are looking to spread their focused service brands, Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton by Hilton because we know there is increased demand for price sensitive product that offers great value but that is also part of the Hilton system, so Hilton Honours members can use Hilton wherever they are traveling.
