Making the hospitality industry future-proof
The municipality has developed a plan to future-proof our hospitality sector. Horecavisie 2024-2030 provides hospitality entrepreneurs with the guidance and support they need.
What does this mean for hospitality entrepreneurs?
- Area-based approach: The hospitality vision focuses on the right hospitality industry in the right place. The hospitality industry is concentrated in a number of strong clusters, but also offers complementary standalone concepts that strengthen the function of the area.
- Support and Facilitation: The municipality provides support for new initiatives and encourages innovative concepts that contribute to the desired development of Lelystad.
- Participation and Cooperation: The municipality works with entrepreneurs, Koninklijke Horeca Nederland (KHN), and other stakeholders to implement the hospitality vision. The hospitality industry connects people functions and areas.
