Why Hotel & Shop Plus is a Must-Attend for Hospitality Professionals?
In recent years, the hotel and commercial real estate industry has transformed from a high-speed growth stage to a new era of high-quality growth – refined operation and brand premium have become the key to enhancing competitiveness in the hotel industry.
Hotels urgently need to move from functional value to emotional value and social value and attract consumers by providing personalized and differentiated service experiences. Major hotel groups such as IHG, Marriott, Hilton, H World Hotel, Ctrip Hotel, Jinjiang Hotels, etc. actively attract investment through the release of new brands and innovative services; The upgrading of existing markets has become an important trend in commercial investment. With the pace of urban renewal, more and more commercial real estate, commercial offices, and public landscape projects need to be renovated and promoted to meet new market demands.
Certainly, at Hotel & Shop Plus 2025, hotel buyers gathered to explore a wide array of exhibits and procure their desired products. Following the event, some buyers submitted their feedback after visiting the exhibition, expressing their anticipation for returning to the 2026 edition.
