Hospitality runs on people. It connects cultures, creates opportunities, and drives economies. This document shaped Holedo from the start. It still defines what we stand for today:

At its lowest level, our industry provides food and shelter to strangers.

Strangers that become our friends over time.

Food is an important part of what our industry provides.

And food for thought that arises when we share our travels and ourselves with others.

At a higher level, our industry builds cultural awareness and acceptance amongst people.

Our industry shelters, nourishes and provides employment to all kinds of people.

Regardless of religion, race, education, social or economic background; people working in hospitality collaborate and contribute to others daily.

We represent close to 10% of the global work force and our industry is growing faster than the world economy.

The members of this community includes the leadership of our industry at all levels.

For us, leadership means to cause something to happen.

Something, that without the individual taking action, would not happen.

The way our members conduct themselves and lead others, touches people near and far.

People working in the Hospitality industry make an immediate and lasting difference to others worldwide.

The leadership of this enterprise is building a worldwide community, empowered with access to knowledge, recognition and career opportunities worldwide.

An all encompassing industry body and powerful voice, leading the world away from conflict to collaboration.

Given the size, diversity and all-inclusiveness of our industry, we have a unique opportunity to cause a powerful shift towards peace and freedom in our world.

Your participation and partnership will make a huge difference to the future of our planet and our children.

This is what we believe. This is what we stand for. And this is what we do.
