Although age is merely a number, BW HOTELIER, launched in India on January 12, 2015, is now celebrating its 9th year. Over these years, we have maintained our leadership in the industry by revitalising and redefining our presence. Our esteemed publication encompasses a classic print bimonthly, online platform, awards, events, and even web-shows that not only dominate but excel in the realm of social media.

Rather than relying on self-proclamations, we let our work speak for itself. Our legion of readers and followers are testimony to that.

From its inception, the BW HOTELIER Indian Hospitality Summit & Awards, also known as the IHA, have held a prominent position. In 2020, we achieved a significant milestone by virtually hosting IHA-2020 over five days from August 31 to September 4, featuring more than 200 speakers and presenting 100 awards. This unprecedented achievement is likely to withstand the test of time and will be difficult to replicate, even for us.

Summarising the BWH IHA:

• The awards are characterised by transparency and honesty, impartially recognising talent across functions, regions, and the nation.
• Evaluation involves four regional juries and the final assessment by a national jury comprising reputed industry veterans.

• The online nomination process is open to all who meet the common set of criteria and conditions.
• While BW HOTELIER ensures compliance, the entire process is externally managed by a reputed and independent agency, ultimately judged by five juries.
• Importantly, the entire process is meticulously documented.

We ardently uphold our motto, ‘at BW HOTELIER, the sun never sets’. Our aim is to continually raise the bar, pushing boundaries with each endeavour. There’s no room for complacency, as every day and every venture bring new opportunities and challenges.

We, at BW HOTELIER, never fall short – we stand apart.

The highly anticipated BW HOTELIER IHA-2023, the Indian Hospitality Summit and Awards, returns with its 7th edition on Friday – Saturday, October 20 – 21, again in the phygital format at the Pullman Aerocity New Delhi. The summit’s central theme this year is EMBRACING THE FUTURE.

The IHA-2023 will witness some of the most brilliant minds in Indian Hospitality, Travel, Tourism and F&B engage in discussions and debates on the industry’s pressing issues, while also charting a roadmap for the future and surpassing expectations and bringing the industry to take its rightful place in the comity of nations. 

With thought-provoking keynote sessions and panel discussions, nearly 100 top minds will delve into the latest trends revolutionising the hospitality business and each day will promise uniqueness, engagement and valuable takeaways.
