In this way, the sector aims to promote inflow into hospitality education and the sector across the board. The ‘Ontdek Hospitality’ digital campaign is an extension of the ‘Be My Guest’ campaign introduced in 2023.

The Hospitality Pact aims to create cooperation between stakeholders regarding sustainable solutions for the labour market of today and tomorrow. Cooperation and innovation are necessary for a successful future of the industry.
