Toposophy Bulletin N°20 - HOSPITALITY IN TRANSITION AUGUST 2020

Welcome to the first edition in a new series of bulletins, as part of HOTREC’s strategic partnership with TOPOSOPHY. In this series, titled ‘Hospitality in Transition’ we shall broaden our focus to assess the wider context for decision-making in the hospitality sector today. DOWNLOAD THE ISSUE: Navigating the ‘new normal’ of public health regulations, travel disruption, accelerated digitisation, and the ongoing need to shift to a more environmentally and socially sustainable business models will require new insights, ideas and guidance. Therefore, future editions of the Toposophy bulletin will examine hospitality’s transition towards the demands of the 'low-touch' and low carbon economy. Short-term rentals continue to disrupt communities and the lawfully established hotel sector, requiring careful vigilance and pressure on national and local authorities to act. Therefore, we shall continue to include a dedicated STR Monitor in future bulletins. Together with TOPOSOPHY, we look forward to examining all of these issues in more depth, and using them to advocate on behalf of our members at national and European level on all the major issues that demand our attention.
