Objectives
The objectives of the STAY WYSE Association are to:
- Create a strong profile and representative force that will encompass the needs of all hostel types (small, big, chain, private and not for profit, and HI) and youth accommodation services providers.
- Provide PR and marketing resources to increase and strengthen the profile of our industry.
- Develop a forum and website that will allow us, as specialised accommodation providers, to be recognised as an important part of the global tourism industry.
- Offer research, market intelligence and industry information to members.
- Maintain a best practice guide for youth accommodation providers, and otherwise support the cataloguing and dissemination of leading industry practices.
- Provide networking and trading opportunities for members.
- Support and undertake lobbying and representation activities to encourage the development of youth accommodation services.
“As a government office and regulator, it is very important that we’re aware of what’s happening within the sector and be in a position to support new initiatives. Toerisme Vlaanderen looks upon STAY WYSE as a gateway to exploring the youth accommodation sector on a global scale and as a means to following its developing trends closely”
Diederik De Bruycker, Tourism Officer, Flanders & Brussels Tourist Board
