Some members share their thoughts on working with Hospitality Net below.

Terence Ronson, Technology Consultant: "Hospitality Net with Henri Roelings at the helm, has without doubt been my go to place for posting and reading hospitality related news for umpteen years. They have constantly been innovators helping shape the industry, and one of its best supporters through good and bad times - presenting timely un-biased opinions and information where and when it's needed. Their initiative with WIWIH was just one such groundbreaking idea. I take this opportunity to congratulate Henri and his wonderful team for sticking with it for the last 25 years and I very much look forward to an even better next 25. Kudos to you!"

Frank Wolfe, CEO HFTP: "Working with the Hospitality Net Team has always been enlightening and rewarding, said Frank Wolfe, HFTP CEO. Due to our partnership we have created many firsts, pineapplesearch.com, HotelSchools.com, assisted them with the worlds first social network for hospitality.. WIWIH.com, and created the first online virtual conferences (webinars) and tradeshow in 2002. Most recently, HFTP is grateful for Hospitality Net support of the association providing a massive sponsorship of Cyber HITEC and donating services during COVID-19."

Bob Gilbert, CEO HSMAI: "Hospitality Net has been an important content partner for HSMAI through the years. It curated content in sales, marketing and revenue optimization before curating was on anyone else's radar as a valuable tool for synthesizing sources. Hospitality Net has always been ahead of its time."

Jeremy Armes, protel hotelsoftware: Working with Hospitality Net over the years and following the industry Zeitgeist via their website has always been, as it is now, a real pleasure. From the friendly, personal, and knowledgable account management right through to the quality, depth, and breadth of the regular #hoteltech insights and initiatives, every touchpoint oozes value for us at protel.

Frances Kiradjian, Founder & CEO at BLLA: "Henri Roelings and HospitalityNet have been close friends over many years, way before I founded BLLA. I believed in their initiatives and very complete hospitality coverage. Walking down memory lane I particularly loved the WIWIH (Who is Who in Hospitality) as it was a precursor to sites like LinkedIn. Henri is always 2 steps ahead when it comes to connecting the industry globally in a very broad fashion. Additionally, his team delivers the very best customer service possible and always with a smile (virtual). I find the coverage of our press releases and other news, stories showcasing the uniqueness of our association and our close-knit boutique community, and the sharing of our events on the site to be extremely valuable. I look forward to many more years collaborating with the great Henri Roelings and his wonderful team!"
