The ALIS CALA conference is recognized as the premier event for hotel investment professionals focused on the Caribbean and Latin American markets.
Scheduled to take place from April 29 to May 1 at the Loews Coral Gables Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida, ALIS CALA brings together a powerful mix of investors, owners, developers, tourism officials, and industry leaders. The event represents a newly unified format, combining the former CHRIS (Caribbean Hotel & Resort Investment Summit) and HOLA (Hotel Opportunities Latin America) conferences into one expansive, region-wide gathering.

With its broadened scope, ALIS CALA provides a more comprehensive examination of hospitality investment opportunities across both regions. The conference offers an in-depth agenda that includes targeted networking events, breakout sessions on key topics such as capital markets, all-inclusive development, and aviation, as well as discussions on investor sentiment, asset management, and emerging trends.
As part of its programming, ALIS CALA also honors excellence within the industry through several awards, including Development of the Year and Transaction of the Year. This year, the conference will present the Lifetime Achievement Award to Luis Barrios, founder of Hotels City Express and Norte 19 Promotora de Hoteles.
