Hospitality: What a dynamic sector! 💯 Resilience is something that our industry has proven time and time again, and the more than 1 million rooms currently under construction clearly prove this. The most dynamic segments are the premium and upscale projects accounting for more than 50% of the projects, a clear hint where the market is heading. Not surprising: The #UnitedStates and #China are leading the geographical attribution of new construction projects, with India catching up very quickly - in line with the general observation of the #hospitality industry, that part of our focus and attention needs to shift east, it's no surprise that two out of the top three countries in the construction pipeline are in Asia.   Check out the full article and the numbers from Lodging Econometrics through the link in the first comment below.   #hospitality #travel #hotelpipeline

“Not enough waiters in Spain” “Italy scrambles for seasonal staff” “Croatia faces service delays due to staff shortages” 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘄. They are symptoms of a deeper, ongoing crisis in Southern Europe’s hospitality sector, a mix of acute labor shortages and extreme fragmentation that hits hardest during peak season. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 😓 Tourism booms in Portugal, France, Spain, Italy, and Croatia during the summer. Great for the economy. Tough for hospitality operators. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲! The supply? Unreliable and disconnected. Every summer, restaurants, cafés, and hotels rush to find workers, but it is often: ⚠️ Too late ⚠️ Too slow ⚠️ Too competitive 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼: ❌ Overworked staff ❌ Lower service quality ❌ Lost revenue & frustrated customers And yet, the cycle repeats year after year! 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: A Real Problem 🧩 More than 90 percent of hospitality businesses in Southern Europe are small, independent, or family-run. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲: ⛔ No dedicated HR teams ⛔ Outdated hiring methods ⛔ Word-of-mouth, Facebook posts, handwritten signs 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁. Most digital tools are made for large hotel chains, not for a local taverna in #Puglia or a beach bar in #Split. 𝗦𝗼 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲? 🔧 We do not need more generic job boards! We need solutions made for this industry reality 👇 ✅ Centralized talent platforms designed for all operators ✅ Fast, affordable candidate verification ✅ Cross-border recruitment pipelines to access wider talent pools ✅ Simple, intuitive tech adoption for non-digital-native users We are working actively on a solution to change the way companies hire, 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲? #Digitalization #Scaling #Hospitality #Hiring #Solution

10 Minutes Hotels has released the Global Hotel Brands Infographic, a new visual tool that organizes the world’s major hotel groups and their brands into clear, accessible categories. Designed to simplify the complex structure of the hospitality industry, the infographic presents hotel brands across eight distinct segments: Luxury, Premium, Upscale, Boutique & Lifestyle, Midscale, Economy, Extended Stay, and All-Inclusive. The infographic was developed through extensive research into leading hotel groups and their portfolios, offering a visual flow from high-end brands in the center to budget and long-stay options along the edges. While categories provide useful guidance, they are not strict boundaries, reflecting the diverse positioning strategies of global hotel companies. Delimiter lines help show the transitions across different tiers of hospitality. A high-resolution PDF version of the infographic is available for download and can be used for various purposes, including training and research - https://lnkd.in/dB3-JA6Z Photo Credit: 10 Minutes Hotel

Great news from the first half of 2025 at a&o Hostels 🍾 . We welcomed 1.4 million guests across Europe in the first six months, with 3.1 million overnight stays and an occupancy rate of 73% 🛌 . International travel is on the rise – particularly from the UK and USA – and we expect to reach 6 million overnight stays by the end of the year. This growth is matched by our expanding footprint 🌍 . Our newest properties, a&o Firenze Campo di Marte and a&o Milano Ca Granda, are already welcoming guests, with more openings in the pipeline for 2025 👏 . Guest behavior is evolving: shorter stays, more last-minute bookings, and increased demand for great value 📸 . Our commitment remains the same – to offer affordable stays from €12 💰 a night while investing in smart, #sustainable solutions like renewable energy, AI-assisted operations, and #digital check-in. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary 🥳 , our vision stays bold: a&o in every major tourist city in Europe – and beyond... 🚀 #hospitality #travel #hotels #tourism #future #aohostels #sales

The Hospitality Industry Needs Radical Change Happy to share my first article in German (!), co-authored with amazing Carlos Martin-Rios, on why the future of hospitality lies not in sustainability , but in true regeneration. Key Takeaways: 🤝Beyond “green tweaks”: Regeneration starts with business models, not afterthoughts. 🌀 Design first, then operate: Build circular systems and embed positive impact from the start. 🕸️ Think systemically: What’s waste in one area can be a resource in another. 🫂 Local & inclusive: Invest in people and places, creating shared prosperity. ⛓️ Supply chains that restore: Not just local, but regenerative sourcing that strengthens ecosystems and communities. 💫 Lead by example: Showing that regeneration is profitable inspires others and drives policy change (IBITI | Projeto is a great example that I just visited) 💡 The future belongs to those who regenerate - not just sustain. Hotels have the chance to become true engines of renewal for nature, communities and economies. 👉 Curious to hear your thoughts: What would regeneration look like if applied to your sector?
