WHY WE SHOULD TURN CITIES INTO NATIONAL PARKS
Cities are urban habitats that are a mosaic of cliff-like buildings, parks,
waterways, woodlands and farmlands. They are home not only to billions
of people, but a countless and biodiverse range of wildlife. With more
people living in these urban habitats than ever before, what understanding
do we have of cities' unique urban eco-systems and the benefits we can
derive from them? In this inspiring and thought provoking talk, RavenEllison will present an argument for investing in some of the world's largest
cities by turning them into national parks, a step that would radically
transform how we think about, create and experience our urban habitats. Daniel Raven-Ellison

options for branding, managing and/or affiliating your hotel in this special session set-up for
fostering intimate interaction between table hosts and delegates.

OWNERSHIP TRACK – PROACTIVE ASSET MANAGEMENT
Regardless of whether operating a hotel themselves or engaging an operator, owners can
benefit from proactive asset management in creating enhanced returns and asset values via
well considered and executed revenue strategies, that consider short and long term benefits,
to the asset, through cost-benefit analysis that finds the balance between “building the brand”
and “benefitting the asset” and “identification of incremental revenue sources and expense
saving opportunities”.
