2017 HOTREC ANNUAL REPORT

|

17

HOTREC serves as a hub for its Members to share their best practices

in priority fields for the hospitality industry. As part of it in 2016, HOTREC

provided itsMembers a forumwherewere presented best-practices on the

“book direct” campaign in Ireland, on a new tool to help disabled children

in Italy and on the Danish apprenticeship scheme. It also organised a

workshop to improve association management and finances.

Direct hotel booking: an effective campaign conducted by

the Irish Federation of Hotels

In December 2015, HOTREC launched its ‘Book Direct’ campaign. The

campaign recognizes the different distribution and booking channels

and emphasises the advantages of booking direct and having the direct

contact with the service provider.

In 2016, among many other countries, Ireland took advantage of the

campaign and made publicity for it via various channels. Inter alia, the ‘Be

Our Guest’ guide, thepremier Irishaccommodationguide, ofwhich150.000

copies are published every year, featured the campaign prominently. The

guide is promoted in 22 countries and throughout Ireland in tourist offices

and key touristic locations. The campaign has sensitised Irish hoteliers to

consider and adopt various strategies to increase direct bookings. There

is no doubt about the importance of direct bookings for the Irish hoteliers,

most of which having specific strategies to drive direct bookings. The

majority of surveyed Irish hoteliers have made use of the ‘Book Direct’

campaign and its tools via different media and communication channels.

Supporting people with a disability to ease communication

with the staff of restaurants: an inspiring initiative led by

the Italian HOTREC Member FIPE

Around 15% of the world population experience some form of disability.

In Italy it affects around 8 million people. Building on the difficulties

experienced by children suffering from cognitive problems, a pilot was

launched in Bergamo to find solutions to facilitate their ability to express

themselves more easily in restaurants. It resulted in the creation of a visual

placemat, which ease considerably the communication with restaurant

staff. Since its launch, the placemat has been further developed and

distributed by HOTREC’s Member FIPE all over Italy. It is finding more

and more use and acknowledgement in the different restaurants, bars,

canteens and regional institutions all across Italy.
