Europe Events → Hotel Demand

Built specifically for Youssef — to find group-accommodation demand across Europe without living inside Sales Navigator.

Built by Saad Belcaid.

What it does (in one breath)

It finds events happening across Europe that need hotel rooms — conferences, congresses, trade shows — plus public bodies that are literally out shopping for hotels and event space right now. One clean list. That's it.

You point it at Europe. It hands you back a list of "here's who needs rooms, where, and when." You take that to hotels.

---

Why you'd want it

A hotel's Director of Sales cares about one thing: who's bringing a room block to my city, and when.

This hands you exactly that. So instead of cold-pitching hotels, you show up with: "There's a 3-day congress landing in your city in October — here's the demand." That gets a meeting every time.

---

What you get

A spreadsheet. One row per event or opportunity. Each row tells you:

• What — the event or the thing being bought ("International Cardiology Congress")
• Where — city + country
• When — the date
• How hot — a 1–5 score for how much hotel demand it means
• Why it matters — a one-line pitch you can paste straight into an email
• Link — straight to the source

That's the whole thing. No setup, no API key.

Two places it looks

1. Public tenders (TED) — when a government, university, or public body officially shops for hotel rooms or event space. Rare, but pure gold — they've literally raised their hand.
2. Event listings — the thousands of upcoming conferences and congresses across Europe. This is the volume.

Both end up in the same list.

---

How much you get

Run it across Europe and you get ~6,800 clean opportunities right now — and that's dialed down for quality. Turn the dial up and it climbs into the tens of thousands. More than enough to work every day.

You can narrow it:

• Just a few countries? List them.
• Only the hottest? Crank the minimum score.
• Only the next few months? Set a horizon.

How to run it

1. Open it on Apify, hit Start. (Defaults are already set for clean, live, all-of-Europe.)
2. Wait a couple minutes.
3. Download the spreadsheet — or feed the dataset straight into Connector OS Station to match it against hotels.

Want it on autopilot? Set an Apify Schedule (e.g. every Monday morning) and a fresh list lands in your inbox each week.

The honest part

A chunk of the volume is academic conferences — they're real and they do book hotel rooms, but they're less premium than big branded trade shows. If you want only the best, flip it to TED-only or raise the minimum score. Volume vs. quality — your call, one setting.

Settings (only if you want to tinker)

Setting	What it does	Default
countries	Limit to certain countries (e.g. DEU, FRA)	all Europe
minRoomBlockScore	Hide weak signals (1–5)	3
sources	TED only, events only, or both	both
maxPagesPerCountry	More pages = more events	5
monthsAhead	Only events within N months	off
publishedAfterDays	TED: only recent tenders	180

Everything else has a sensible default. You can ignore all of it and just hit Start.
