#hotelNEXT Competition
The #hotelNEXT competition is a nationwide contest for Canadian University students to be creative and design their dream hotel. In front of a live audience, the top three teams chosen will pitch their ideas to a panel of Canadian investors and 
hotel owners at the Canadian Hotel Investment Conference in Toronto.
Teams will use the case study approach and have just 20 minutes to present a financially viable business case to convince a panel that their project should be the next Canadian hotel in development.
