The Resort and Residential Hospitality Forum (R&R) is Europe's only resort-focused investment conference.

It attracts an international audience of senior figures and decision-makers across all aspects of hospitality real estate, tourism and infrastructure investment. What sets this event apart is the seniority and decision-making power of its audience and the opportunities to forge new connections and partnerships that can transform businesses.

This year's conference theme is 'Leisure Leads the Return' and is testament to the resilience and adaptability demonstrated by the industry. Investment appetite remains strong, with some hospitality brands reporting double-digit growth in ADR as leisure travelers make up for lost time over the past year and a half. The seismic shifts in leisure hospitality investment continue to shake up the industry, with increasingly blurred lines between personal and work life demanding innovation across all aspects of the resort and leisure experience.

Deep-dive sessions will explore a range of topics such as; the increasing need for data and its role in establishing meaningful KPIs, seizing opportunity in the expanding branded residential space, requirements for sustainable development, the growth of ‘bleisure’, opportunities beyond beach resorts, and more.

In between sessions, R&R will take care of the mind, body and soul with its simultaneous wellness programme packed with beach runs, sunrise yoga and ‘walk and talk’ networking sessions fuelled by a nutritious and balanced F&B menu.

The strength of the R&R conference programme and contributions from respected and influential leaders creates an informative, innovative and educational experience for all who attend.
