Alexandros Vassilikos, HOTREC President, stated: “It is an honour to be re-elected as President of HOTREC. Hotels, restaurants and cafés are essential for Europe. Hospitality is a catalyst for social interaction, grows local economies by creating jobs, and helps preserve the European way of life.” He continued: “The landmark decision to create a new Commissioner portfolio for tourism shows the support at European level to create a resilient and competitive sector.”
Hospitality representatives from across Europe discussed pressing industry concerns and upcoming EU rules that will shape the future of the sector. Topics included Polish EU Presidency priorities, evolving tourism trends, travel connectivity and airlines, sustainability, digitalisation, and the latest policy developments impacting the hospitality industry.
Marie Audren, HOTREC Director General, commented: “HOTREC’s General Assembly is a unique opportunity for European hospitality leaders to share best sustainability practices and discuss emerging digital trends. HOTREC stands ready for the EU’s next chapter, to engage with new Commissioners and collaborate with MEPs.”
On behalf of HOTREC, Alexandros Vassilikos concluded: “My heartfelt thanks to the Chamber of Commerce of the Polish Hotel Industry (IGHP) for their exceptional hospitality. We look forward to reuniting with our members again in April 2025 at our next General Assembly in Copenhagen, Denmark.”
