In this weeks conversation I catch up with Peter from the Institute of Hospitality.  

Now I have to confess to not knowing a huge amount about the IOH but I thoroughly enjoyed this chat with Peter.  Clearly he's been in the industry long enough to know what he's talking about and have a very rounded and objective perspective on quite a diverse range of topics that cropped up.

We touch on OTA's, graduate training, VAT, the opportunity for independent hospitality, the impact of the pandemic and how we can find a way to trade through.  As Peter points out, we've been through wars and many other challenges as a sector and we will bounce back, in time.

The IOH are the professional body for hospitality and have members in every sector in over 100 countries.  An impressive achievement. Their primary purpose is to promote professionalism through lifelong learning with hospitality educators around the world. They have an exceptional  knowledge library and resources and a programme of professional development events.

I implore you to take a listen, and guarantee that you'll learn something new from Peter.
