Investing together in a strong hospitality industry

HOP strengthens the hospitality industry by investing in projects that contribute to the future of the sector. Think better working conditions. Campaigns to show the versatility of the sector. Or to ensure that education links up well with practice. This is only possible if we invest in a fund together. That is why social partners have agreed that employers and employees jointly contribute to this, with a premium.

On this page, you will find everything you need to know about the premium for you as an employer or employee.
