HBF 2012 is the latest among various expos being crafted and organized by SYNERGY EXPOSURES AND EVENTS INDIA PVT LTD, a Chennai based organisation specialising in organising Industrial expos.
Until recently, South India was not considered to be dynamic market as far as the hospitality industry was concerned. However, all that has changed with the growth of the IT industry, Automobile & ancillary units and a host of other Industrial giants that have either already established or is in the process of establishing themselves in this part of the country. To add to this, Medical tourism and the boost that tourism promotion has received has propelled South India into the limelight and as one of the most favoured destinations.
To be able to cope with this revolution, the hospitality industry is gearing up to support this growth and a host of new establishments have been planned and the existing ones are getting a complete makeover.
To enable the sudden growth in the hospitality industry, a wide range of internationally acceptable quality products and services in high demand.
HBF has been able to do just that, by getting together some of the best suppliers and service providers from across the country, to make their presence felt to the prospective buyers who were scouting for their various requirements.
The organizers had chosen Chennai, as the host city, considering that it is strategically located in the central part of Southern India, with proximity to international tourist havens like Sri Lanka & Maldives.
Decision makers from both national and international Hotels, Resorts, Airlines, Consultants, Software and Facility Management companies visited the expo.
Buoyed by the response and success of the show the organizers have already set in motion plans for bigger and better HBF 2013.
