YOUR STORY MATTERS.
Let’s be real, stars don’t just rock on stages. They’re the receptionist who remembers each and every guest, the housekeeper who adds that extra sparkle to a stay, the HR-Manager that improves every team member’s well-being, or the visionary mastermind that reinvents an entire industry with a new product. We want to tell all their stories and show the endless facets of our beautiful industry.
Personal stories give you a backstage pass to the coolest companies in the industry and those starring in them. We have gathered our community’s “a-ha” moments and flawless experiences and occasional fuck-ups for you. It’s those personal tales, that make the heartbeats behind the scenes and that create the real magic.
We are delivering the industry’s most interesting personalities and real big players to your ears and screens. Tune in to our podcast to hear what drives the leaders and change-makers in tourism and hospitality, read about various hospitality adventures and career paths in Humans of Hospitality, or get silly insights on our YouTube channel.
