Experience your hospitality zone as a learning laboratory. A two day on-site training and consultation with facilitated discussion to identify and build on strengths and overcome challenges.

RHI conducts pre-event stakeholder interviews, facilitates a night tour and guides work groups to develop a preliminary action plan for each of the six core elements.

Pre-event Logistics, Interviews and Research

RHI staff and facilitators work with the host city coordinator in developing a recruitment strategy, developing background information and online registration, and assist in referrals to other city stakeholders who participated in the process.

Six phone interviews with key leaders will provide in-depth understanding of trends and issues so RHI facilitators can customize presentation and group discussion.
