ABOUT
Host&Co
It all started on the field.
Years in tourism.
Hundreds of encounters.
Places visited.
And one conviction: homeowners must be able to receive support in other ways.
A story born from tourism and the land
Before creating Host&Co, I worked for several years in the tourism sector, notably within the Maison du Tourisme and the GAL Pays de l'Ourthe.
In particular, I was in charge of the Walloon Quality initiative, an experience that allowed me to be in direct contact with professionals in the sector and to better understand their realities, expectations and difficulties.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to visit many tourist accommodations, but also to meet the various people who bring a destination to life.
And it was on the ground that a reflection gradually emerged.
.
From the quality of a place to its ability to be rented
While visiting the accommodations, I discovered some very beautiful places, often run by passionate owners.
But I also noticed a reality: having a beautiful property is not always enough to rent it out successfully.
The quality of the venue, its presentation, its online visibility, its positioning, its photos, its presence on booking platforms, and its pricing strategy all play a crucial role in its ability to attract travelers.
By working on their rental capacity, online visibility, and marketing, I quickly realized that there was a real demand in the sector:
The owners needed support in managing and marketing their accommodations.
That's how Host&Co was born
In 2020, I decided to create Host&Co with a simple idea:
To enable owners and tourism stakeholders to better promote their accommodation, while simplifying their day-to-day management.
Initially, the adventure began with one or two owners who trusted me.
Then, gradually, word of mouth, meetings and results did the rest.
Today, around forty owners and accommodations trust Host&Co.
This development is obviously a great recognition, but it remains above all a story of trust and human relationships.
Our profession today
Host&Co assists owners in the operation and marketing of their tourist accommodations.
Our role goes far beyond simply managing reservations.
We work on the property's visibility, its positioning, its marketing, the relationship with travelers and all the management necessary for its smooth operation.
Our goal is to enable each accommodation to find its audience and fully reveal its potential.
And above all, to allow the owner to entrust their property with complete peace of mind.

From the Ardennes to elsewhere
Our story began in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes, a region we know particularly well.
Today, Host&Co also supports accommodations elsewhere, particularly in Spain.
The locations and destinations may be different, but our approach remains the same: understand the place, enhance its value, market it well and take care of it.
A vision that has remained the same since the beginning
After all these years in tourism, one thing hasn't changed:
Successful accommodation starts with a beautiful location, but doesn't stop there.
We need to know how to tell its story, make it visible, market it, welcome travellers and above all take care of it.
This is the vision that we continue to develop at Host&Co.
Owners entrust their properties to us.
Travellers share their travel experiences with us.
HOST&CO creates the link.
