Cracking the billion threshold vs. margin pressure and employee bottlenecks

Cracking the billion threshold vs. margin pressure and employee bottlenecks

Kirsten Posautz

Dear Insider, 

Industrial espionage, arms shipments, earthquakes - the world seems to be upside down. The evening news is not a mood booster, rays of hope are rare. It almost makes you happy to hear then Venice is now charging an entrance fee to day visitors so that it may better cope with mass tourism. The hospitality industry is also currently dealing with its own issues. Here too, there is "good" and "bad news", problems and bright spots. 

The latter was announced by a cheerful Accor CEO Sébastien Bazin in an interview with Editor-in-chief Maria Puetz-Willems. Following its transformation, Accor sees itself as very well equipped for the future. In her article today, business and finance expert Macy Marvel looks at falling F&B margins. Fred Fettner uses the Austrian market as an example of how to get a grip on the shortage of employees. And there is plenty to talk from other areas too: The residents of the Canary Islands are also fighting back against overtourism, an initiative is mobilising against fake reviews that damage business, NENI Restaurants and 25hours Hotels are helping young women in Marrakesh to train in the catering and hotel industry and HITT in Amsterdam has a whole range of highlights to offer. Are you on board?

It's got it all: win-win for IHG and Novum. Super-rich and laggards.

It's got it all: win-win for IHG and Novum. Super-rich and laggards.

19.4.2024

Dear Insider,

The high of the week: the deal between IHG and Novum Hospitality, a very skilful move, well thought out. The low of the week: the IHIF in Berlin, an investment conference in decline because it simply flies too high with a regular entrance fee of 4,000 euros. The sun is shining in Brussels: a market with great potential, as the new hotel association president Willem van der Zee reveals in an interview - and more. 

There have always been super yachts, but now Four Seasons, Accor, Aman and Ritz-Carlton are working on launching (more) multi-million euro small ships on the high seas. Fittingly: The small, fine Oetker Collection with its super-sharp luxury profile is opening its first "Masterpiece" hotel in the USA. Will Travel Charme survive after the takeover? We simply asked. Our sections (VIP News, Market News and today also IHIF News) are well-stocked, entertaining features are once again offered by "Picked" and our HITT should arouse your curiosity - only two months to go until Amsterdam! Are you already a participant? By the way, we are sticking to fair prices.
