investment advisor, fund manager, and investment broker/dealer, will
speak to HICAP delegates at the 20th annual event, to take place
October 14-16, 2009, at the InterContinental Hong Kong.
Dr. Faber publishes a widely read monthly investment
newsletter “THE GLOOM BOOM & DOOM” report which highlights unusual
investment opportunities. Faber is the author of several books,
including “TOMORROW’S GOLD – Asia’s Age of Discovery” which was first
published in 2002 and highlights future investment opportunities around
the world. “TOMORROW’S GOLD” was for several weeks on Amazon’s best
seller list and has been translated into Japanese, Korean, Thai and
German. Dr. Faber is also a regular contributor to several leading
financial publications around the world.
A regular speaker at various investment seminars, Dr Faber
is well known for his “contrarian” investment approach. He is also
associated with a variety of funds.
“We are very fortunate and pleased to have Dr. Faber
presenting at the special 20th anniversary HICAP. Given the
uncertainties regarding the economic outlook affecting the region’s
hotel markets, Dr. Faber’s presentation is intended to assist industry
decision making delegates in their planning for 2010,” said Robert
Hecker, Managing Director of Horwath HTL.
HICAP is Asia’s most prominent and longest running hotel
investment conference. As the premier forum and center for
communication for the hotel investment community in the Asia Pacific
region, HICAP brings strategic insights to investors, financiers,
developers and leading industry professionals about the developments,
changes and opportunities in the region. HICAP takes place each October
in Hong Kong and last year attracted nearly 800 delegates from around
the globe.
In May 2009, HICAP launched two new events in Singapore and
Tokyo, which are focused, mid-year gatherings of the hotel investment
community and which expand the HICAP reach into Southeast Asia and
Japan. Over 400 international delegates attended the events. Dates for
