Perfecting profitability

Best Stay is the event for people passionate about tourism and hospitality - learn how to boost quality, profits & partnerships

27&28 FEB2025

Successful AND Profitable

You're doing your best, but still not getting as much profit as you'd like? Get access to the latest hospitality strategies and technologies that will help you reach your property's full potential. Make this year the most profitable ever.

Innovative revenue streams

Are you stuck in a rut when it comes to creating new revenue streams at your property or destination?

Hear from people who came up with innovative (and lucrative) ideas for new revenue streams and products at their properties - Learn from examples that work in real life.

Destination development at its best

Whether you're a hotelier, tour operator, tourism board or airline executive, what can you do to improve the destination in order to maximise guest spending? Which new projects without huge investments can thrill your guests? How can different stakeholders mentioned make a difference to destination development?

Focus on luxury - old vs. new

Are sleek, modern, minimalist hotels or eco resorts more profitable than classic, traditional luxury establishments? Do people prefer well known luxury locations or undiscovered beauty and calm? What do five stars mean today?

Figure out if AI can help you

AI this and AI that, AI customer services, AI billing, AI everything - but does it really work and which areas actually can profit from AI automation? Learn from some of the top names in tourism tech and engage in meaningful conversations.

Get F&B inspirations

More and more guests are asking for plant-based, locally grown, low carb foods, or have specific diet or allergy requests. How can you create new menus that will not only feed, but make a positive impact, on these guests? What are the latest innovations in the drinks menu? Dazzle them with creative selections in your menu and figure out some new dishes.

Interactive Q&A session with industry experts at the Best Stay Event in Zagreb.

Energy bills down, sustainability up

One of the largest trends in our industry is sustainability, which has become very important to guests. It may include offsetting CO2, limiting waste, maximising circularity and much more. Learn from those who are doing it effectively and bring in the guests who appreciate it.
