The team behind Eco Hotel Summit and Eco Hotel Investment Summit has launched a new event: Eco Hotel Restart Summit which will take place on June 17 and 18, 2021.
Eco Hotel Restart Summit looks to a brighter future following the global pandemic where hospitality not only reopens but rethinks its priorities to consider the environment, changes in guest priorities and supporting the wider community. Confirmed speakers include Paul Gardiner, CEO Mantis Collection & Bear Grylls Location Based Entertainment, Channing Henry, Managing Director, Head of US at PKF hotelexperts, Ken Cruse, CEO and Founder Soul Community Planet, Luca Franco, CEO Luxury Frontiers and many more.
The summit will adopt a ‘freemium’ model on day one – allowing delegates to watch talks live at no cost. On day two – there will be a ticketed agenda of workshops giving delegates practical skills to adopt in their own businesses. This will include guides to reducing plastic waste and staying safe during COVID, as well as targeted social media training to pinpoint and market to guests able and wanting to travel to your destination following lockdown. Other workshops will include a guide to eco architecture and design from Luxury Frontiers and a how-to from Professor Willy Le Grand of University Bad Honnef, Bonn on reducing carbon emissions on existing hospitality venues.
“We know everyone’s minds are on opening up again at the moment but we are aware that most of us feel differently about our lives and priorities as we emerge from the pandemic,” says Steph Curtis-Raleigh co-organiser of the event and Publisher of International Glamping Business. “We want to protect our planet look after our communities and give our guests an experience that is healing and life-affirming. Let’s not just go back to the way things were – we can celebrate the chance to do better.”
The main themes of the event will be:
Thinking differently
Marketing in a post COVID world
Wellness: a world of opportunity
Investment in Eco hospitality
“We are revisiting the investment sphere following the huge response to our dedicated investment summit in January of this year,” says Maja Dimnik, co-organiser and CEO of World of Glamping. “Once again we are inviting those seeking investment to share their pitches with us and five will be chosen to pitch live during the event to a panel of investors who will offer advice and guidance. The deadline for entries is May 31, 2021 and there are details on our website.”
