Parris Jordan, Chairman of the Caribbean Hotel Investment Conference & Operations Summit (CHICOS) announces that the 11th edition of CHICOS will be hosted at the Hilton La Romana All-Inclusive Resort in the Dominican Republic from November 9–11, 2022.

“The Dominican Republic as a destination continues to generate tremendous interest and has been the leading destination for new development projects in the Caribbean for a number of years,” says Jordan. “We are excited to bring CHICOS back to the Dominican Republic to showcase the island’s continued growth, including through the last few difficult years. We are thrilled to bring this premier Caribbean event back to this increasingly important country with our partners: the government of the Dominican Republic, MITUR and ProDominicana, Playa Hotels & Resorts, and Hilton.”

“Playa Hotels & Resorts is genuinely honored to welcome attendees to the Dominican Republic—a destination we consider home—and host CHICOS 2022 at Hilton La Romana All-Inclusive Resort,” said Fernando Mulet, Playa Hotels & Resorts Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer. “After undergoing a massive renovation, this magnificent property truly represents our business model and allows us to showcase the benefits of a branded, all-inclusive resort to our hospitality peers.”

“With Hilton’s existing portfolio of more than 30 hotels and resorts welcoming travelers across the Caribbean and a pipeline of approximately 30 hotels to come, we are fully committed to the growth and development of this incredible region,” said Juan Corvinos, Senior Vice President of development, architecture and construction, Caribbean and Latin America, Hilton. “As an active participant in CHICOS, we see the value of networking with industry partners and investors to leverage the opportunities in the Caribbean and, together, continue to build upon the region’s already successful story.”
