This year's show spans three days, from 16 to 18 October 2008, with attendance during the first two days subject to registration and limited to professionals only. The organiser, Poznań International Fair, decided to go back to the show's original name, INVEST-HOTEL, as one that best reflects the fair's thematic scope and focus. There is no need really to refer to catering in the fair name. A restaurant is an inseparable part of each hotel, just like a hotel room or a reception desk, says Józef Szyszka, a new Project Director. The name, INVEST-HOTEL, denotes all that is necessary to construct, modernise or operate a hotel, he adds. Indeed, the attending hoteliers stress the show's forte: its comprehensive nature. Attendees have an overview of all products and services currently available for the hotel industry, from finishing materials and all manner of installation systems, through furniture, equipment for rooms, reception desks, restaurants, kitchens, bathrooms, hotel SPAs, textiles, carpets and floors, to professional booking and access control systems. The fair's another strong point is that it is held at the same time as TOUR SALON Fair of Regions and Tourist Products, with hotel owners and managers among the latter show's attendees.
