"Never overstay your welcome." I thought this was a hilarious notion of how some people will stay on your couch or your spare room longer than welcome. LOL Even with family, I tend to opt for a hotel regardless. :) A principle that resonates both in our personal and professional lives. In this intriguing tale, a couple finally stands their ground after their inconsiderate family repeatedly took advantage of their hospitality. The story serves as a reminder that setting boundaries is essential, even with those closest to us. Whether it's festive holiday dinners or professional collaborations, boundaries help maintain respect and harmony. It’s about mutual respect and understanding—values that are just as crucial in the workplace as they are at home. Curious about how they handled the situation? Dive into the full story here: Check this out: https://lnkd.in/d63Er4r9

Here's what our Board President, Gerardo (Gary) Sanchez, Senior Director of Community Impact, Equity, and Public Affairs at Visit Dallas, had to say about his involvement at 24HourDallas: ''My role with 24HourDallas began in 2017 (before 24HourDallas had its name), when there was an initiative to enforce a “Late Hours Overlay” on businesses opened past 12am, with the intent of addressing parking, noise, alleged crimes, and other claims. The ordinance was flawed and was drafted with no input from residents, neighborhood businesses, property owners or employees. Organized by the Greater Dallas Restaurant Association, there was a strong opposition to this ordinance, officially called, “Stop The Curfew.” Thanks in big part to the hundreds of service industry works who showed up at Dallas City Hall to voice their opposition, it was defeated. The ordinance went through the process of being heard at council committees, but it was ultimately dropped. The idea of taking a pro-active approach on addressing these matters soon arose, and in January 2020, the first 24HourDallas member meeting occurred at the Omni Hotel. Although 24HourDallas has grass-roots origins, it’s had tremendous effects on Dallas, and it’s been fantastic to see many of our ideas come true – our Good Neighbor Initiative and Copper Star Certification program (now in its third year); the hiring of the city’s Manager of Nighttime Economy and Responsible Hospitality, and more recently, the publishing of our first Nighttime Economic Study, which demonstrated that in 2023, the Dallas nightlife scene contributed $15 billion in direct economic impact, and when considering induced effects, the overall indirect economic influence was $24.4 billion and the support of 256,000 jobs. As the current President of the 24HourDallas board of directors, I’m extremely proud of the work we’ve done, and moved by everyone’s commitment to our mission: “to create a safe, vibrant, and diverse nighttime culture for businesses, residents, and guests,” because the nighttime really is for everyone.''

Press Statement from Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industry Association London, UK - In response to recent developments in the nightlife sector The Night Time Industry Association (NTIA) is deeply concerned about the potential placement of some businesses within the Rekom Group into administration, adding to the constant stream of closures our industry faces on a daily basis. The nightlife sector is in crisis, and we implore the Chancellor and Prime Minister to recognise the urgent need for support before it's too late. The continued lack of acknowledgment from the government regarding the severity of the crisis at hand is disheartening. Nightlife businesses, which contribute significantly to the cultural and economic fabric of our communities, are struggling to survive. The time for action is now. We call upon the Chancellor to provide targeted support to our industry, acknowledging its unique challenges and the devastating impact of ongoing closures. One crucial avenue for immediate relief is the reduction of VAT. Lowering VAT is a pragmatic and effective measure that can provide much-needed financial respite to struggling businesses, allowing them to weather the storm and continue contributing to our vibrant cultural landscape. Our members are facing unprecedented challenges, and without decisive action from the government, we risk losing integral components of our nighttime economy. The Night Time Industry Association stands united in urging the Chancellor to act swiftly and decisively in providing the support our businesses desperately need. The nightlife sector is not only a source of entertainment but also a vital economic driver, supporting countless jobs and businesses. As the industry teeters on the brink, we call on the government to acknowledge the gravity of the situation and implement measures that will ensure its survival. Michael Kill CEO, Night Time Industry Association

Tidbit for your Day | Our team loves to see how industries innovate when it's time for them to evolve based on a shift in consumer behaviors. And currently all signs point to some cosmic shifts in the hospitality industry based on Gen Z's preferences and perspectives deeply engrained since Covid. As Gen Z, dubbed the “Homebody Generation,” redefines what a night out looks like, bars and hospitality venues are being forced to rethink their approach. It’s not just about serving drinks anymore—it’s about creating spaces that blend the comfort of home with the allure of going out. Low-ABV cocktails, mocktails, intimate atmospheres, and curated, low-key experiences are becoming the new norm. This shift represents a huge opportunity for the hospitality industry to innovate. Establishments that prioritize comfort, connection, and authenticity will be the ones that thrive. As Gen Z continues to favor meaningful, personalized experiences over traditional nightlife, there’s a clear message: the future of hospitality will be less about volume and more about value.
