The mission of HostelManagement.com is to provide a resource for hostel managers/owners, and people who are interested in information about how to open new backpacker hostels.
This web site is intended to promote international hostels and hostelling, especially in places where hostelling is underdeveloped.
The online resource for hostels
HostelManagement.com was started in 2004 as a comprehensive industry resource for people who manage and work at backpacker hostels. It is also a free source of information for people who are thinking about opening a hostel.
The goals of HostelManagement.com are to promote hosteling from the side of the hostels, and to improve the quality of hostels by providing information and resources for managers, staff, and owners.
If you are new to the site and have questions about opening a hostel, please join our hostel forum. To submit news about your hostel or the backpacker travel industry, please post the press release directly in the Hostel News section of the Forum.
