The Hotel Yearbook
Contribute an article, place an ad, or both, in our flagship publication series.
What it is
First published in 2007, The Hotel Yearbook is built on genuine thought leadership, senior executives, analysts, and industry leaders sharing their own view on what lies ahead, through editions built around different themes throughout the year, an annual edition, technology, sustainability, and more.
Each edition is shaped by a Guest Editor in Chief drawn from the industry itself, and reaches a projected 100,000 hospitality professionals globally, primarily through Hospitality Net, with additional distribution through relevant industry events and the Yearbook's own partner network. Every edition is also promoted across our own LinkedIn channel as it goes live.
Three ways to take part
There are three ways to be part of it, and which one fits depends on whether you want to share your own thinking, want maximum visibility alongside that thinking, or simply want your brand present without writing a word.
Contribute an Article
A forward-looking piece on a theme set by the edition, written by you. Either up to 1,400 words across three pages, or up to 750 across two. It should look ahead rather than review what's already happened, and it should stay useful for the length of the edition rather than being tied to this month's news.
Articles are non-commercial. Write about where the industry is going, not about what your company sells. This isn't an opinion column either: the strongest Yearbook pieces are grounded in what you're seeing in the market. A piece on distribution costs in agentic commerce is a good example of the register.
Your article is published on the Hotel Yearbook site and in the edition's PDF, and some editions are also printed. It joins the rotation on the edition homepage, gets republished on Hospitality Net and carried in the daily newsletter, and forms part of the promotion when the edition goes live. You also get it as a standalone PDF for your own use.
Sponsor a Hotel Yearbook Edition
Sponsorship starts with the same article, written the same way and held to the same non-commercial standard, and adds your brand across the edition around it.
Your logo runs in the rotation on the edition homepage and in the footer of every article in that edition, not only your own. A full-page advertisement sits facing your article in the PDF. And you are named as sponsor in the press release that goes out when the edition launches.
Advertise in the Hotel Yearbook
A full-page advertisement in the edition's PDF, with no article attached. You supply the artwork and there is nothing to write, no theme to work to, and no editorial process to go through. It suits a company that wants to be present in an edition without committing someone's time to writing.
