6. Connect: get involved in building and maintaining welcoming communities
Checklist Who are the hospitality heroes, influencers, entrepreneurs, and locals in your area? Create a network of hospitality-makers and bring them together. To what extent do we share a common vision and ambition for hospitality? Where do we differ? Organise meetings and engage with your network. Find your shared ambitions. Develop hospitality programmes and projects that everyone in the community can support – in other words, programmes that add value for the entire community. Involve other potential hospitality-makers; make them aware of their role and of your shared ambitions. Make your efforts visible: tell stories, share results, let hospitality-makers have their say (‘this is why I am committed to... together with...’)
