The Turkey & Neighbours Hotel Investment Conference (CATHIC) takes place 29-30 May 2013 at the Marmara Taksim Hotel, Istanbul. Turkey has established itself as a hub of thriving hotel development and 2013 shows no signs of slowing down. “The future for Turkey looks positive, the first ten months of 2012 showed a slight increase in international arrivals compared to 2011 with Istanbul showing a robust growth of 15.7 per cent due to strong corporate and leisure demand.” Defne Gezen, Vice President, Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels.
