Development of an efficient recognition system
In a difficult economic climate that limits, amongst others, the possibility of granting pay rises and bonuses, coupled with a strained job market, managing to attract and retain talent has become a priority for businesses, particularly in the hotel sector where they struggle to fill vacant positions.
The challenges involved in transforming the model
Today, the future of the hotel industry is driven by two factors. The first is an opportunity: an increase in the number of tourists, which according to the World Trade Organisation, will grow from 1 billion today to 1.8 billion by 2030. The second is a threat: the rise in the number of online travel agencies such as Booking.com and Expedia, and the emergence of new collaborative models such as Airbnb.

In Extenso Tourisme, Culture & Hôtellerie has published the 9th edition of its annual study on the urban hotel-residence market. 20 pages of general analysis.
In recent years, a vast number of tourism actors and hoteliers have rallied behind the sustainable development cause: eco-labels, ISO certification, sustainable development charters and policies, guest awareness programmes, training, and so on.
