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
