The Summer* of Sport is Here! 🌞🏅 With the kick-off of Euro 2024 just hours away, and events like the Olympics, Wimbledon, and The Open all taking place over the next couple of months, we know how vital sport is to the hospitality industry. Great facilities for watching sport can transform a venue into the go-to destination for customers and guests who can't attend the events in person. Whether it's a cosy pub showing football, a hotel offering an exclusive Olympics viewing experience, or a stylish roof terrace bar with big screens for Wimbledon, the right setup can be very appealing. Yet, how often do venues get it wrong by having the sound at the wrong volume, or by having the wrong TV package? Likewise, how does it make you feel when a pub that doesn't normally do table service actively offers it during busy sports events so that you don't miss a crucial moment? Simple gestures done right can make all the difference. At Halo, we’re passionate about helping hospitality venues really understand the customer journey so that they can confidently promote and deliver the very best experiences. We help our clients continuously improve their processes to ensure guest loyalty and drive revenue and profitability. *Although it really doesn't feel like Summer in the UK right now... #Euro2024 #ParisOlympics #Wimbledon #Hospitality #SummerOfSport #CustomerExperience

Reflecting on Rio 2016 and Looking Ahead to Paris 2024 #30DaysToGo “The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.” – Pierre de Coubertin As we countdown to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, I find myself reflecting on the profound impact that the Rio 2016 Olympics had on my career and life. In 2016, Rio de Janeiro took center stage to host the greatest sporting event on Earth. It was more than just a dream come true; it was a defining chapter in both my personal journey and the history of my country. Following the electrifying energy of the World Cup in Brazil, the Olympics provided another opportunity to showcase the vibrant spirit and unity that sport brings. As a business graduate with a deep passion for sports and global events management, being part of the Organising Committee for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games was a transformative experience. Each day, I was inspired by the Olympic values and the incredible individuals around me who shared a belief in the power of sport to drive social change and leave a lasting legacy. Working on such a complex and high-stakes project taught me invaluable lessons in event management and reinforced the importance of teamwork, resilience, and dedication. The Rio 2016 Olympics was not just about the events or the medals; it was about creating moments that transcended borders and inspired the world. To all my friends and former colleagues gearing up for Paris 2024, I wish you all the best. "Je vous souhaite bonne chance!" May these games be as magical and transformative as those we experienced in Rio. Here's to creating new memories, fostering global unity, and celebrating the spirit of the Olympics. #OlympicGames #Rio2016 #MaracanãStadium #Paris2024 #SportsManagement #EventManagement #GlobalEvents #OlympicLegacy #Inspiration

As the Paris 2024 #Olympics is ongoing, it's worth examining whether hosting such mega-events truly benefits a nation's brand and economy. Jose Filipe Torres, in his book Nation Brand Builders (page 48), provides a critical perspective on this issue. Enjoy the read: ——— ARE THE OLYMPICS AND OTHER BIG EVENTS WORTH IT? Global events are great opportunities for countries to change their image. At least, countries seem to view them as great opportunities. The Olympics always create a lot of controversy and get a lot of press. Everyone wants to host them and be part of the games, especially during the medal ceremonies. That's because countries believe the Olympics really boost their image as a nation. For example, in looking at the Olympic Games, you will see that countries systematically spend millions of US dollars to get the chance to host the event. Clearly, some very powerful people think that ben in the world spotlight for two weeks will have a major impact on their reputation and economy. But are the Olympics really good for countries? Do they create a long term impact? Sho answer: most of the time, it's a No. Personally, I don't believe that the Olympics are a great investment. It's true that the amount of publicity the Olympics generate is indeed valuable, but only if it's used at the right moment, in the right way and as part of an overall strategy. #Paris2024 #Olympics #NationBranding #Paris2024Olympics #Paris #France #Tourism #SportsMarketing
