The second round of Hotelier Academy’s Free Hotel Webinars officially starts on October 2020, by presenting a series of new live webinars that aim to enhance the know-how of employees in the Hotel Industry. For this purpose, Hotelier Academy will provide a free educational and training platform in collaboration with leading professionals in the hospitality sector. The current updates concerning COVID-19 have led to a significantly restructured business and functional hotel environment. Therefore, Hotelier Academy has specified a series of Webinars that will train Hoteliers in new techniques, strengthen their bases in classic hotel procedures, and present real case studies of successful practices.

Further developing the Webinar model that was presented in April, during the first round, the selected topics are now divided into three different sections: Hotel Trends, Hotel Courses, and Case Studies. Each category adopts the topic and content of each Webinar according to the audience’s preferences and the hotel industry’s updates. Experienced professionals from all the divisions of the hospitality sector have been selected as instructors. The Live Webinars will have a highly interactive character and the attendees will receive a special certificate of attendance after completing the relevant Tests and Assignments that will be set by each instructor.

  • Housekeeping SOPs: How to set up Standard Housekeeping procedures for your Hotel
  • Google and Hotels: What are the key tools for a hotelier and how to make reservations
  • Hotel Buffet: How to organise your hotel Buffet from the production process to serving
