We are looking to supply an in-room entertainment (hi-fi system)
product to large luxury 4 star + hotels. Something like a wall or
bedside keypad that allows you to select your favorite music or radio
station.

How do we best go about approaching this market?

Who are the companies who organise fit-out? 

Who distributes products like these to this industry? 

Do large hotels chains buy direct and centrally? 

What are the international online and printed publications in this
market that would be good to read?

What are the international hotel expos/shows we should attend?

Are there any existing products specifically targetted at hotel rooms?
Note I am specifically NOT interested in information on pay-TV
entertainment or other TV entertainment systems, only ones that
deliver MUSIC in hotel rooms.

Do not answer only regarding USA market! Other markets, including
Middle East and Europe of great importance.

Provide web links wherever possible.

Thanks!

Hello -

Thank you for your question.

Due to the amount of data you're looking for, I would highly suggest

OK, Fair point, I will limit response on questions to the MIDDLE EAST
and especially DUBAI market....

EXCEPT for information required on the following connected subjects
which should be a global search response:-

What are the international online and printed publications in this
market that would be good to read?

What are the international hotel expos/shows we should attend?

Are there any existing products specifically targetted at hotel rooms?
Note I am specifically NOT interested in information on pay-TV
entertainment or other TV entertainment systems, only ones that
deliver MUSIC in hotel rooms.

Thanks!
