The Hospitality Resource Panel/Partnership is a
process developed by RHI to assist businesses and cities to
plan and manage safe and vibrant places to socialize. First
formed in Monterey, California in 1994 to prevent impaired
driving, the focus expanded to a business improvement
strategy in San Diego in 1995. Today, HRP's have evolved to
an advisory role to cities and their dining and
entertainment districts. In over ten years, dozens of
cities throughout the United States and Canada have utilized
this inclusive, collaborative approach to identify trends,
issues and gaps and link existing resources to successfully
address them.
In 2005, RHI introduced the HRP process to teams of
stakeholders from cities attending RHI’s Networking
Conferences. These teams followed up by implementing
RHI's local Leadership Summit to build alliances and develop
action steps.
Thursday's luncheon panel will spotlight representatives
from cities who have started an HRP or similar alliance
during the past year, who will report on their lessons
learned, their milestones and expectations for the future. |
