Hostmanship in Värmland

In a world where products and services are becoming more and more similar, the welcome you receive is a crucial factor. Good hostmanship is perhaps by far the most important part of the Värmland brand.

Working with hosting is all about setting a positive spiral in motion. The idea is for the way in which we behave and treat our visitors to help all of Värmland to become an even more attractive region in the long run. Both trade and industry and the hospitality industry are and will remain dependent on attracting more visitors, more workers and new companies to the region. Hostmanship aims to help our companies and enterprises to underpin one another by working in the same direction. It'll also help us all in our day-to-day lives, making them richer, nicer and more enjoyable.

What is hostmanship?

Hostmanship is the art of helping people to feel welcome. It's a practical philosophy which can be applied in most enterprises where encounters between people are important. With a welcoming attitude as a starting point, it's possible to develop a way of dealing with them which is professional but at the same time welcoming on a personal level. The results can be measured in customer satisfaction, improved internal and external relations and greater attractiveness and competitiveness.

The benefits of hosting

By working actively with hosting at all levels, we hope to underpin the entire Värmland region.

For individuals: More enjoyable, more inspiring work, greater job satisfaction.
For companies and enterprises: Greater financial profitability thanks to more business and better business. Happier, more loyal customers, clients, patients, visitors and citizens.
For all of Värmland: A warm, honest welcome and good, respectful treatment will in the long run make Värmland more attractive to visitors, new citizens moving here and companies.
