Northstar Travel Group, Northstar Meetings Group's parent company and
owner of global hotel-investment conferences, announced its newest
brand, Hotel Investment Today. The digital publication is launching in
early 2023 as the media presence of the BHN Group, Northstar's hotel and
hospitality group.
Hotel Investment Today will provide breaking news, analysis of key
deals, and profiles of dealmakers and developers within the
hotel-investment industry.
"The hotel-investment community has looked to our organisation for
more than 20 years to provide content, make business connections and
move the industry forward through the Americas Lodging Investment Summit
and all of our other global events," said Jeff Higley, president of the
BHN Group. "We are eager to expand that role and provide the
hotel-investment community with an outlet completely dedicated to
reporting news and information that will help drive decisions pertaining
to ROI and other essential KPIs."
Meet the team
Veteran industry journalist Jeff Weinstein has been named editor in
chief. Weinstein previously served as editor in chief of Hotels for the
last 29 years and created Hotels' Investment Outlook. He has received
five Jesse H. Neal awards for excellence in business journalism.
"I am very excited to join the BHN Group, a leader in the
hotel-investment conference space, and create its initial media
presence," Weinstein said. "During my nearly 30 years of covering the
business, I have always been stimulated the most by the dealmakers,
owners and investment community. Launching this website from scratch
with the utmost editorial integrity is such a creative opportunity to
best serve the hotel-investment community that I had to jump at the
chance."
Mary Scoviak, who has nearly 30 years of B2B publishing experience,
was appointed as managing editor. Her background includes editor in
chief of Hotels, executive editor of Hotels' Investment Outlook, and
editorial and conference programming director for Boutique Design.
"I am honoured to be part of the BHN Group creating a new kind of
360-degree omnichannel platform to connect the global
hospitality-investment community with need-to-know content, from
breaking news to thought-leading business strategies," said Scoviak.
"This is a dynamic point in the expansion of hotel investment to include
a more diverse investor base, fresh solutions for new markets and
innovation in deal structures. I look forward to the opportunity to
communicate that at every touchpoint."
