Here at HOSPA, our eyes are very much on the future. Now we know when we can re-open, we’d like to help make sure the industry is in prime position to take advantage of the inevitable boom in bookings.
Consequently, we want to help hoteliers by offering short, sharp, insightful, advice pieces that they can use to enhance their offering in anticipation of the high levels of post-lockdown demand.
Taking video form, and only a few minutes in length, industry experts, across a variety of fields, have given their expertise to make sure you’re perfectly placed to fully embrace the process of recovery once we’re back open and back trading.
