A shared approach for sustainable hospitality
The partnership is based on ethics and collaboration, providing professionals with structured, anonymized data tools. The initiative integrates training, research, and innovation to support territorial competitiveness.
“Real-time data is valuable only when it serves a shared vision. Through this partnership with HCommunity, we have a unique opportunity to turn data into collective intelligence, benefiting destinations and the entire tourism ecosystem. Sommet Education mobilizes its academic teams – teachers, researchers, and experts – to analyze, structure, and deliver this information in a practical and strategic way.” – Florent Varanne, Head of Business Solutions Development chez Sommet Education
“Every day, thousands of professionals support hospitality. They deserve to benefit fully from their work. HCommunity aims to give them control over this resource, providing clarity, tools, and recognition.” – Christopher Meignier, Président de HCommunity Foundation
“Our campus and students will actively contribute by producing videos and educational materials to help hoteliers understand and use the data from the HCommunity platform.” – Giovanni Odaglia, Directeur général de Les Roches à Crans-Montana
A strategy structured around three pillars
The partnership focuses on training around sector-specific KPIs, offering free webinars and in-depth modules to help professionals fully understand the indicators provided by the HCommunity platform and use them strategically.
Applied research and educational projects form a second key pillar, with Sommet Education actively participating in the creation of case studies and research content that incorporates territorial data, thereby supporting academic dissemination and the development of practical solutions for the industry.
Finally, the international rollout aims to expand the platform’s reach to key markets such as the Middle East and South Africa, through the creation of Data Lakes designed to assist governments and businesses in tourism planning and development using real-time shared data.
