HFTP Launches New Club-Focused News Site: HFTP Club Bytes
An essential resource for industry professionals in the club sector and an extension of the association's existing technology-focused site HITEC Bytes
AUSTIN, TX. July 27, 2016 — Leading global nonprofit hospitality association, Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP®), announced today the launch of its new, online club-focused news site: HFTP Club Bytes. Produced by HFTP and powered by Hsyndicate, HFTP Club Bytes is a club-specific news source that features the latest, trending club news from across the globe, and is an added benefit for HFTP members and the hospitality industry at large.
Branching off from the association's recently-launched, technology news site, HITEC Bytes, HFTP Club Bytes will serve as an essential source of club industry information and ideas for club professionals and organizations across the globe. Similar to HITEC Bytes, this new cross-platform site is an aggregated content destination that features club-specific articles, publications, blogs, reports, photos, videos, white papers and more.
“HFTP is dedicated to providing essential tools and resources to the industry sectors we represent,” said HFTP CEO Frank Wolfe, CAE. “We are currently building on our club-related resources and information via PineappleSearch and HFTP Club Bytes. In addition, HFTP is hosting its first Club Digital Learning Day this fall.”
HFTP is renowned by the global hospitality industry as an educator for industry professionals. Devoted to its members and the hospitality industry at large, HFTP continues to produce new, essential tools and progress its existing resources.
“We enjoy working with HFTP and helping to create essential hospitality resources,” said Henri Roelings, CEO and founder at Hsyndicate. “HFTP's online news portfolio, built on Hsyndicate components, is growing rapidly after launching PineappleSearch.com last October, HITEC Bytes last May and now HFTP Club Bytes—this is only the beginning.”
HFTP Club Bytes offers an outlet for organizations to publish their news and/or content to reach a network of thousands of industry professionals across the globe. The global platform allows users to reach highly targeted audience-segments within their designated industry fields. Registered users receive the additional benefit of having their content published to both the HFTP Club Bytes site as well as PineappleSearch.com.
