In London on Friday 7æApril 2017 EP (Entrepreneurs Innovation Centre (EP-IC) and eHotelier are welcoming leaders to share their experiences and thoughts on the factors that create an hospitable destination.
The aim of the day is to create an interactive forum to debate and discuss how cities can change and the role that hospitality can play in that change.
More and more people are traveling globally andæcities are facing challenges. Therefore the way cities address these challenges evolve and how they welcome their visitors is becoming increasingly important.
Hospitality has a central role to play in the economies and success of cities – so how can we work together to offer the best levels of service against this difficult backdrop.
There is real change in the air and there are many cities and countries working on new methods and ways of improving both tourism andæthe way they interact with visitors.
The summit is for real change in hospitality and to explore what we need to do for the future.
