Why
My mission: making the world more hospitable
In a world of increasing distance, digitalisation and focus on efficiency, hospitable moments of real connection increasingly important. Hospitality strengthened relationships and makes the world kinder and happier. That's what I believe in. That is why I have been committed to spreading the hospitality virus to as many people as possible since 2008.
Hospitality is not necessarily in luxury and fancy buildings. In essence, hospitality is about sincere personal attention. People make the difference.
I believe hospitality is the formula for success for everyone in business, regardless of industry. I am proud of the movement we have created of hospitality leaders who carry our thinking. Together, we are building a more hospitable world. Will you join us?
