Judith Volker, Transformation in Hospitality Workshop

My project is a format for a workshop for lodge/hotel owners or creators.

The idea behind this workshop is to bring the participants outside their own reality, to encourage their creativity for making a change, and for them to receive impulses for their own organisation. So that we get in the future a more exciting and aware hotel landscape! :-)

About Judith Volker

Hi, I’m Judith, Creator and Founder of Magical Places.

I believe life is full of beauty and color and potential. Work hard, dream big, enjoy, be adventurous, take a little risk once in a while, and most importantly - live NOW! That’s the very reason why I love and breathe hospitality. This is where life happens. This is where amazing things take place.

What inspired me to launch Magical Places?

I think these two life events had the biggest impact:

In 1996, I worked for Cirque du Soleil. Canadian founder Guy Laliberté, a college drop-out turned billionaire, had the amazing capability to combine art and finances and made Cirque du Soleil a huge success. I was fascinated by his approach and soaked up every lesson, I could learn during my time with them.

In 2003, I purchased with my then-husband Villa Cartoceto in the Italian region Marche. The villa is in the middle of the historic center of Cartoceto. We opened a Bed & Breakfast and made the entire local community part of our guest experience. Our guests were mesmerized, and we had a fabulous time running it.

These 9 years and my time with Cirque du Soleil were great sources of inspiration and they finally led me to Magical Places.
