Creating a logo that resonates with customers can help make your restaurant more recognizable, keeping your brand on customers’ minds. If your logo is ready for a…

Who knew ? It’s International Grilled Cheese Day! –

If you didn’t already know it, today, April 12 is International Grilled Cheese Day – a time to exploit all opportunities to promote, produce (and eat!), the hot melted gooeyness and comfort of a toasted cheese sandwich! Owner Harry McArthur and partner Victoria opened Fred’s in Wellington right in the midst of Covid. While they admit that ignorance was bliss in terms of understanding the realities of the industry during the pandemic, Harry credits fantastic local support from Wellingtonians – and great grilled cheese sandwiches – as the key to Fred’s success. Need more convincing of the appeal of a…

Your Tribe or Mine? Introducing the Travelers of the Future

Originally published on Hospitality Net By: Francisco Pérez-Lozao Ruter, President, Hospitality, Amadeus I just recently learned that I’m a Travel Tech-fluencer. What do I mean by that? Through extensive research and a survey of 10,000 global travelers, Amadeus looked into the future to understand what would drive traveler interests and habits by 2033.

Glasgow hotel plan dropped in favor of student accommodation

Debate over $13M tax break for airport hotel ends in tie vote

A wide-ranging debate over whether a hotel project at the Ottawa International Airport should get a $13 million break on property taxes ended in an unusual tie vote Tuesday at city hall. City staff have determined Germain Hotels is eligible to pay $4.4 million in taxes to the City of Ottawa over 25 years if it builds a new 180-room Alt Hotel attached to the terminal — just 25 per cent of the $17.4 million in tax revenue it’s expected to generate. Germain Hotels was the first applicant under a new community improvement plan for the airport area approved by…

Satellite Worlds and the Bali Status Quo

After reading a story in the Australian Financial Review about the Bali digital nomad community yesterday, I decided to take a look at PARQ, north of Ubud. The owners of PARQ Ubud bill the place on their website as a city of the future. The article billed it as a Russian and Ukrainian enclave, full of digital nomads, setting up camp in Bali to escape the war in their East European neighborhood. The place is enormous. Someone obviously spent a lot of dollars or rubles to put it together, but I didn’t feel threatened by it, nor by the people…
