The Fourth Edition of HICON – The Hospitality Innovation Conference will be held on December 2nd in Bologna, Italy.

HICON: the best that hospitality and tourism innovation has to offer

Without a doubt, the past year and a half has been filled with uncertainty for the travel sector. As the reopening phase is now upon us, we’re looking ahead with optimism towards the best that hospitality and tourism innovation has to offer from around the world.

HICON – The Hospitality Innovation Conference will return for its fourth edition on December 2nd, 2021 in DumBO Space in Bologna. The event will be hybrid – taking place both online and in person, with the support of Bologna Welcome.

Everything has changed… but for the better?

Travelers are eager and want to start traveling – with or without a vaccine. Their bags are packed and they’re ready to board that plane as soon as possible. Yet, nothing will be the same again.

A new generation of travelers will arrive. They’re different, more conscious and more sensitive. To welcome them, from an airplane cabin to hotel room, hospitality and tourism operators need to evolve and embrace the change.
