"hospitalityInside.com: The source of information about our industry. Up to date, short, distinct, precise, informative and focused on the essentials."
Michael Altewischer, Managing Director, Wellness Hotels Deutschland GmbH, Duesseldorf

Dr. Lothar Becker

"In the hotel industry in particular, there's an oversupply of publications and sources of information. Only few of them make the 'must have' category though. hospitalityInside.com is indisputably a 'must have' publication. In particular, I appreciate the quality of research, the excellent knowledge of the industry, wide specialist knowledge and the topicality of contributions made by a selected and competent editorial team. But hand on heart: With an Editor-in-Chief like Maria Puetz-Willems, I can't imagine it any other way. And the industry certainly deserves such a medium."
Dr. Lothar Becker, Owner Atrium Hotel, Mainz

Markus Beike

"hospitalityInside - a "must have" for everybody in contact with hotels. It is informative, accurate to a T and up-to-the-minute. An online magazine that distinguishes itself by its expert knowledge and being "inside" in an agreeable way. Its bilingualism is particularly outstanding, especially for an internationally active company such as Christie + Co."
Markus Beike, Managing Director, Christie & Co, Frankfurt

Christopher Bergen

"For the past few months, I have enjoyed opening my "electronic mail" on Friday mornings and finding my copy of hospitalityInside.com! My partner, Verena, and I have very specific interests in the hospitality business, mostly regarding new trends in Europe, hotel/restaurant design, development of small, luxury hotel properties, fractional ownership projects, human resource management and spa companies. Well, you seem to include most of those in all of your issues! So, for us, it makes for fun and inspiring reading.
What the "big boys" are doing is also interesting, but only as a reminder of why we have focused our efforts in the small, luxury segment of the market! You and your staff manage to "dig up" some great "insider" stories, which are always appreciated in our "connected world" where the "he said/she said" correspondence dominates the World Wide Web's highways!
As we see the importance of "blogs" growing, also on the business side of the fence, your site provides the fresh, well-researched, "out-of-the-box" views that most discriminating industry leaders and trend followers surely appreciate. Thank you for putting on the web hospitality "inside news" that most specialized publishers would take weeks or months to put in print!
Christopher Bergen, Managing Partner, Hellberg Associates, Vienna

Emanuel Berger

"Since I`ve been a subscriber of hospitalityInside.com, I`ve appreciated its comprehensive articles! The news is thoroughly researched and instructive! In addition, the volume of this platform as well as the frequency of its e-mails enables the mass of information to be absorbed in an efficient way. The content regularly comes with articles from highly esteemed colleagues and acquaintances from the industry, which makes the information contained particularly pleasant! In short: I don`t want to do without this valuable and up-to-the-minute information in future!"
Emanuel Berger, Managing Director, Berger Hospitality Management GmbH, Unterseen/Switzerland

Markus Beugel

"There is hardly a segment of real estate development that has a more fast-moving market than the hospitality industry. Accordingly, reliable and immediate information about news and changes are of great importance. When it comes to hospitalityInside.com, I find what I need: an up-to-date market overview, news from and about the hotel groups, new players and brands on the German market and staff developments. Thank you very much, Mrs. Puetz-Willems, for supporting my work."
Markus Beugel, Managing Director, Frankonia Vermoegensverwaltungs- und Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, Erlangen/Germany

Oliver Bonke

Oliver Bonke, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Brussels/Belgium

Rainer J. Bürkle

I'm already looking forward to the next issue!"
Rainer J. Burkle, Area Vice President China, General Manager, The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai

Ulrich Demetz

"We in South Tyrol form the link between north and south and for me it's especially important to have my finger on the pulse of the trend and to understand where such movement is taking us. hospitalityInside.com provides valuable news from across the industry every week and has become a source of information which I would no longer like to be without. In particular, I appreciate that many subjects are tackled more extensively and that I am supplied with useful background knowledge.

Ulrich Demetz, Managing Partner Business Development, Treugast Hospitality Solutions, Brixen/South Tyrol

Klaus G. Elftmann

"The big advantage of hospitalityInside.com is the speed with which it picks up on current issues in a straightforward manner and conveys them briefly and precisely. Many daily newspapers and magazines call themselves independent or non-partisan, but in fact, are dependent on their advertising department! Please maintain your style and your way of reporting, as this represents true "freedom of the press" for me. For a hotelier abroad, this magazine is a bit of home, complemented with additional news from the international world of hospitality. My compliments and thanks go out to all of those who make sure they keep me up to date."
Klaus G. Elftmann, General Manager, Crowne Plaza Hotel, Xi´an/China

Erich Falkensteiner

"I have been a loyal reader of hospitalyInside.com for a long time. There are several reasons for this. On the one hand, it is important to have access to current information about our industry in our global and fast-moving world. hospitalityInside.com offers me this, especially through its online functions. On the other hand, there are only few media in the hotel industry, which detect developments and refer to future trends so early. However, these are the most important things for all persons in charge at the Falkensteiner Michaeler Tourism Group. As an internationally operating hotel and tourism business, we have to face the market conditions and are dependent on background information and detailed future-oriented industry knowledge. In this respect, hospitalityInside.com is of invaluable help. And finally, in the people's business "Hotel", we are interested in careers and the gossip in the industry as well. In this field, hospitalityInside.com has been informing us comprehensively for a long time now."
Erich Falkensteiner, Chairman of the Advisory Board, Falkensteiner Michaeler Tourism Group, Vienna/Austria

Jakob Forstnig

"hospitalityInside.com is currently one of the media closest to the market in the hotel arena in Europe and for sure in Germany. It contributes to staying on top of the most important developments in the hotel world and is unfiltered. In addition it provides well researched theme-reports which are not only valid in the short term. The online concept avoids the unnecessary paper storage in the office and proves the "sustainability" aspect, so it is very current. We hope the Insiders will keep their edge."
Jakob Forstnig, Senior Consultant, PKF hotelexperts Vienna

Manfred Friedrich

Especially for professionals working in foreign countries, hospitalityInside.com is an up-to-date and interesting media for obtaining information about the industry in the German-speaking countries. However, I would welcome yet more critical journalism. Do not consider subscribers! I wish you continued success and the courage to pick up on sensitive subjects as well."
Elmar K. Greif, CEO, Leading Hospitality Company, Zurich/Switzerland

Stephan Interthal, General Manager, Kempinski Hotel Beijing Lufthansa Center, Beijing

Among all of the providers, they distinguish themselves with a high topicality, likewise in international events as well as with critical and well-crafted journalism. Maria Pütz-Willems and her team are close to the market events and are very well connected so that their articles are not only the first on the subject, but also communicate comprehensive insider´s knowledge. hospitalityInside is clearly a must-read that I look forward to."
Christian Kettlitz, Chief Executive Officer, Mamaison Hotels & Residences, Prague / Czech Republic

Ascan Kokai

“Each Friday, the site presents current topics covering various aspects of the hotel industry and a summary of the past week’s key events in such areas as IT, sales & marketing and real estate – the last one being of particular interest to us. As head of an international team with a focus on cross-border hotel investments, I value the breadth of the articles on hospitalityInside.com as well as their bilingual presentation.
Well-researched, clearly laid out and to the point, the information provided by hospitalityInside.com on current market developments, transactions and trends in the hotel market helps render our sector more transparent and professional. Thank you very much and keep it up!"
Ascan Kókai, Director Hotel Fund Management, Invesco Real Estate, Munich/Germany

It is a critical, short and to-the-point platform and brings me up to date in terms of the international hotel industry and leisure economy. For our resort hotel with a focus on well-being, the "Health & Wellness" column is of particular interest. The "hospitalityABC" is always worth reading, as special terms are summed up and well-explained."
Karin Leeb, Managing Director, Hotel Hochschober, Turracher Hoehe, Austria

Otto Lindner

"For many years, I’ve been following the journalistic work of Ms Puetz-Willems with great interest and excitement, and I’ve been an enthusiastic and loyal reader of hospitalityInside.com since the first issue. In keeping with the electronic medium, you often get first-hand information, and benefit from both speed and the well-founded research. If this online magazine did not exist, it would be missing!!"
Otto Lindner, Chairman of the Board, Lindner Hotels AG, Duesseldorf

In my opinion, the special attraction of your information is that I get a very quick overview about the news of hospitality with the headlines in your weekly mail. Due to the flood of daily publications and information, it is crucial for me to work quickly and rationally. Your articles are well-researched, teem with insider knowledge and are often red-hot. Photos of people or hotels complement the articles appropriately. I gladly use the databases of your Internet newspaper if I quickly need research material on the spot. Conclusion: the existing subscription will certainly be prolonged!"
Uwe Niemann, Manager, Real Estate Banking Inland 3, Deutsche Hypothekenbank

"hospitalityInside.com has belonged among the most important sources of information for me for many years. As an adviser as well as a lecturer, I value the well-investigated articles as well as the many critical looks at the events and developments within the industry. This distinguishes good journalism in that one more classification occurs in the pure passing on of information and the "other side" is illuminated so that I can form an opinion. Fortified with numerous facts on the most important players, people, figures and trends, the online magazine has risen just as I would wish it to be. Thanks to the competent editorial team!"
Stefan Nungesser, Professorship for Hotel Management, Program Management Hotel Management / Study Area Economics & Management, Villach / Austria

The "maker", Maria Puetz-Willems, takes responsibility for sound background knowledge about the industry and for the quality of this medium.

Claudia Roth

"For many years, I've been following Maria Puetz-Willems' development and I find her initiative to change into the online media market a brave and highly interesting business decision. Today is Friday, "hospitality day"! Even as an industry insider, you hear about new things regularly. The articles are always well researched and supported by background information. hospitalityInside.com conveys strong opinions - though we don't share this opinion all the time - and is always able to start new discussions or contribute some sound statements to existing ones."
Claudia Roth, Area Vice President Europe, Middle East, Africa, The Leading Hotels of the World, Frankfurt/Germany

Robert Salzl

"With hospitalityInside.com, Maria Puetz-Willems has created a medium that has changed our personal relationship in two ways: as a constructive, but critical companion in the hotel industry, she has tried to get to the bottom of (for some quite awkward) weak spots. As a highly thought of expert, it has always been impossible to fool her, and one could count oneself lucky to get advice from her. For this, it was surely not necessary to wait for her inquiry for an interview. A single call was enough to get her opinion and that of the industry. And now? Now these calls are no longer necessary - unfortunately. As you always learn the latest news at hospitalityInside.com, and that is the other side of the coin. You are kept up-to-date everywhere and in almost every situation, and you are comprehensively informed about all recent trends. But you're wrong, if you think you are communicating with a mere database. There is still an intelligent woman behind it."
Robert Salzl, former Head Pilot of Lufthansa and member of the foundation council of Schoerghuber Stiftung & Co. Holding KG, Munich

Elke Schade

"What's particularly good about hospitalityInside.com is the fast spreading of hot-from -the-press news. Experts of the hotel industry are well-addressed and informed in an optimal and reliable way. The reports are factual, competently written and put things in a nutshell using clear language. New topics are often initially recognised and then enlarged upon. In this way, hospitalityInside.com creates transparency for the national and international hotel market. Behind the scenes at hospitalityInside.com there is a very nice highly competent expert, who researches without compromise, but always acts fairly and decently. I look forward to sound information and "breaking news" in the industry every week. That's why I don't want to do without hospitalityInside.com and I wish Mrs. Puetz-Willems and her team continued success in the future."
Elke Schade, hotelexpert, Sinzig-Bad Bodendorf/Germany

Hans-Dieter Schiller

"hospitalityInside.com is an online magazine of the industry that finally offers more than the usual newsletter service or meagre short information. Therefore, it has been used as a reliable media source at Choice for some time now. With its many different subjects and categories concerning the international hotel industry, the platform offers a wide range of information about all parts of the industry.
It is obvious that the articles are based on qualified and extensive research as well as well-founded knowledge. The expertise of Maria Puetz-Willems, Editor in Chief, becomes obvious here; she has proven her knowledge and her connections in the industry at large conferences such as the ITB or Expo Real for years.
For me, especially the online accessibility of hospitalityInside.com is a great advantage: the information is not only easily and comfortably accessible - also while travelling - but it is always up-to-date. Thanks to the preparation and structuring, every target group is able to find the right information quickly, and it is up-to-date both in German and English."
Hans-Dieter Schiller, Focus Hospitality GmbH, Munich

Georg Schlegel

"As champion of new media, I have long since been a fan of hospitalityInside.com. hospitalityInside.com is always "hot off the press" and available to me even when I'm away on business. I appreciate the depth of research as well as the critical and clear reporting standards. hospitalityInside.com provides a quick overview of all essential news. The bilingual nature of the magazine also allows information to be exchanged efficiently between non-German-speaking colleagues – and of course there's the fresh, sometimes provocative style of Maria Puetz-Willems. Keep it up!"
Georg Schlegel, Senior Development Director EAME, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Brussels

Nicole Scholz

Every Friday, "hospitalityInside.com informs me of the most topical subjects within the industry. It is very important for us to always remain on the ball with the developments.

The articles are carefully investigated and worked out in detail. Carry on!"
Nicole Scholz, Director of Operations & Business Development, Munich/Germany

Manfred Schönleben

"With interest, I've been reading hospitalityInside since the beginning. I was particularly delighted about the fact that the issue of "marketing real estates via .... (e.g. freehold, fractionals, timeshare, clubs etc.)" has become a fixed topic in your magazine. Many companies have recognized the value of being able to access an up-to-the-minute knowledge database allowing research to be carried out in a profound and objective way, as it is not necessary to do the splits by generating a certain turnover through advertisement. I wish hospitalityInside many new readers and a good hand in terms of choosing topics."
Manfred Schoenleben, network partner, The Management Consulting Partners, Estepona

Stefan Schwind

“I would like to thank the entire team from hospitalityInside.com and particularly to the leading Maria Pütz-Willems for the always current and outstanding investigation and information.

Here, hospitalityInside.com is taking shape as a highly efficient and up-to-date information network. In a simple and precise way, information can be accessed within a short period of time and play a role in decision making."
Rolf Seelige-Steinhoff, Managing Director, Seetel Hotels, Usedom/Germany

Michael Struck

"hospitalityInside is what I want an industry magazine to be: All of the important industry news in a clear and compact form in addition to solid background reports with a well-arranged serving of insider's knowledge. With this, hospitalityInside helps me to keep track and to gain new ideas. A pleasure every Friday - Thanks, Maria!"
Michael Struck, lic. oec., CEO GOLD INN AG, Berlin/Germany

I congratulate our industry on this new medium and Maria Puetz-Willems on her courage to become independent with hospitalityInside.com without advertising.

André Witschi, Non-Executive Director, Groupe B&B Hôtels, Paris/France
