Events & Hospitality As we are approaching first apex (stay tuned f0r m0re) of our occupancy in Losinj Hotels & Villas, with Loop MICE, Loop Leisure and Loop CEE making it also absolute marketing apex of the decade on our island, my thoughts led me to think what do all these events mean for our industry, why do we spend so much time in creating events, making us stand out from the crowd on events, doing numerous lectures, panel discussion, destroy our livers with premier cru wines, fly long distances and drive our designers crazy with all tiny details of our movies and presentations ? And couple of my thought process conclusions: - Events are plexus and milestones of hospitality industry. These are imaginable and real places where we convene, and where hospitality lives & breaths, they present Real rooms, Real applications, and Incarnated ideas, something that we hold on our outlook or wall calendars... - Events are accelerators, they are microwaved electrons that speed up our KPI-s, they give us bulk of volume, boost of revenues, and of course prop our ADR-s. - Events are exchange of knowledge, learning opportunity, by default privilege of expanding one's mental universe. - They are opportunity for improvement, as through the whole cycle our weaknesses and our strengths are and exposed and can be polished enabling growth of our teams. - And at the end, they are pure essence of hospitality, occasion to make new friends, have great fun, get connected, and the best coaching and team building opportunity that costs nothing... So much from me in this Easter morning... Fellow hoteliers, event organizers, travel agents, entertainers, DOSMs, and all other travel pros, feel free to add your thoughts in comments... #dotheloop, #losinjhotelsandvillas

5moFully agree with everything dear Ninoslav, though I do have to add one more ingredient. It naturally is a part of every single aspect you so nicely elaborated, but I wouldn't be myself if I wouldn't add what is for me the key of every gathering: human connections. That is where everything starts and that is the spark which can ignite more than we can imagine or are aware of. I sincerely wish you a great event and hope we all in our - might sound pretentious but I do mean it - noble goal industry will finally touch base on a common ground and work together for better. Cheers and Happy Easter!
