HITT - The Film


Hinweis: Der HITT sowie die gesamte Kommunikation rund um das Event finden auf Englisch statt, deshalb lesen Sie aktuell auf dieser Seite neben den deutschen auch einige englische Texte.

HITT ist eine unkonventionelle, englischsprachige Veranstaltungsreihe, die 2018 ins Leben gerufen wurde.

  • Zwanglos, aber mit hochkarätigen Experten aus der Branche und darüber hinaus.
  • Begrenzt in der Anzahl, nicht in der Qualität.
  • Tiefe Denkanstöße statt seichtem PR-Gerede.
  • Persönlich, direkt, interaktiv und off-the-record.

Der HITT ist ein Ort, um Wissen zu teilen, Ideen auszutauschen und Lösungen für die drängendsten Probleme der Branche zu entwickeln: Digitalisierung, Nachhaltigkeit und Human Resources.
Führungskräfte und Experten aus den Bereichen Hotelbetrieb, Hotelimmobilien, Finanzen, Nachhaltigkeit, digitale Transformation, Recht und HR sind herzlich willkommen.

Treten Sie diese Reise mit uns an, um gemeinsam Antworten zu finden!

HITT 2025: Biodiversität und Infrastruktur

HITT 2025: Biodiversität und Infrastruktur

Die Natur schlägt Alarm. Grün schaltet auf Rot. Wie lassen sich Biodiversität, Infrastruktur und touristische Investitionen vereinen? Der HospitalityInside Think Tank (HITT) in Brüssel wird dazu am 26./27. Mai 2025 Lösungen suchen. Das Thema selbst ist vielen noch nicht bewusst, auch nicht den Investoren und Developern in der Hospitality-Branche.

Welcome to Tour & Taxis

Tour & Taxis has an interesting history and is now a major urban development project. The Tour & Taxis area was originally a large goods station and warehouse complex built in the 19th century. It was primarily used for goods transport and logistics in Brussels. The name ‘Tour & Taxis’ comes from the original owners, the Taxis brothers, who operated the site in the 19th century.


Today, the site has been redeveloped and is used for flats, offices, parks and cultural facilities. The site is an example of the transformation of an industrial site into a modern urban neighbourhood that combines history and the future.

Gare Maritime, Food Market and La Fabbrica

The Gare Maritime is the impressive centrepiece of the Tour & Taxis area. Originally built as an elegant railway station for international maritime traffic, today the building is characterised by its impressive architecture and versatile uses. With high ceilings, large windows and an open-plan layout, the Gare Maritim offers an inspiring atmosphere for conferences, exhibitions, galas and other events. The historic backdrop gives every event a special charm and creates an unforgettable experience for all guests.
