hospitality: the capital’s calling card!

Brussels excels in culture and events, with the European capital’s tourist appeal growing each year. Via hospitality.brussels, entrepreneurs in this sector can find the inspiration, guidance and contacts they need to realise their ambitious plans.

Tourism, events and culture form an important economic sector in Brussels and provide lots of employment. It’s also an indispensable sector for making Brussels vibrant and inspiring on a daily basis! Hospitality.brussels cluster surely plays a major role in all of this. COVID-19 was a huge blow for the Belgian and European capital, with the hospitality sector hit hardest.

Fortunately, after months of darkness, finally comes light – with the city getting back on track. Hopefully this summer we’ll be out and about again – carefree at cafés, concerts, daytrips, etc. Brussels is more than just an important base for governments and businesses. It’s a city that lives – where you can eat, shop and soak up culture. In this way, the hospitality sector provides an essential economic dynamic in the Region. To overcome the deep crisis caused by COVID-19, the need for guidance, support and awareness is greater than ever.
