During the Louvre Hotels Impulse Meeting day, the young people will have the chance to take part in a business speed dating session, where they will also have their emotions monitored
A group of students in their final year of the master’s degree in Hotel Management (CETT) from the UB, will have the opportunity to take part in the Louvre Hotels Spain Impulse Meeting. During the event, they will be able to conduct rapid interviews with different professional profiles from the hotel chain and learn more about their business experience.
The event will take place on 12th November at CETT -UB. The aim of the Impulse Meeting is to connect with students studying tourism (in all fields) and allow them to get to know the Louvre Hotels chain -of which Campanile is part of- as a business that is committed to young talent, and which opens the doors for developing a professional career. “Louvre Hotels is a chain that is strongly committed to young people”, explained Camile Gil, marketing manager of Campanile Spain. “With this meeting, aside from learning about our philosophy, we want to offer them tools so they can reflect on how they will sell themselves to companies when they finish their studies, and what they will give out on an emotional level,” she added.
Those invited to the Impulse Meeting will first attend a talk on Personal Branding, led by the publicist Marta Royo Espinet, CEO of Mosaiking Comunicació. Afterwards, the young people will take part in a workshop in which Xiao Ferron Cheng, from Louvre Hotels Group, will present Fast & Curious, a paid work experience programme, where students gain experience working in various positions, hotel categories and countries.
The students will then participate in a form of speed dating, with people from different professional profiles -from CETT professors to managers of different Campanile Hotels in Spain and the country manager of the chain in Spain-. This event will give them the opportunity to learn about the experience of experts in the world of tourism and hotel management first-hand, as well as being able to ask them relevant questions.
The high-tech element of the day will be provided by the company Imotion Analytics, with the presence of Óscar Peón Rojo, expert in neuromarketing. During an interview of a few minutes, students will have the chance to learn about the emotions they spontaneously transmit to the person they are speaking to. They will be monitored via sensors which analyse facial expressions, and will provide students, who will soon be entering into the world of work, with a very useful piece of data. It will also give them an experience in which Louvre Hotels emphasises the importance of emotional transmission in the hotel industry, especially now that more tasks are becoming automated. Imotion Analytics has been collaborating with Campanile Hotels since 2018, in an experience which focuses on improving client experience. A system has been introduced into some of their hotels, which combines video with infrared and detects the emotional reaction of the guests. The aim of this measuring system, pioneering in the hotel sector, is to emphasise positive emotions as the main focus of hotel activity, and to improve customer service protocols.
