Journeys Hostels add value to local communities.

May 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Journeys Franchises provide publicans with the expertise to adapt their premises to include a youth hostel on top of their bar. Having a hostel as well as a bar provides additional income and drives more custom to the bar improving drinks sales.

According to the Sustainable Communities Act 2007 pubs provide an important service to local communities, improving the economic, social and environmental well-being of their area.
Journeys Hostels promote positive and sustainable tourism and add an interesting opportunity for travellers and locals to meet and communicate, promoting pubs as hubs.

Colin Lane, manager of The Royal Standard that houses Journeys Greenwich West, said: “Having a Journeys Hostel has really worked at for our bar. It is great to see a diverse mix of people creating a warm and friendly pub atmosphere, the backpackers love our traditional English pub feel and the regulars enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures.”

Journeys franchise opportunities allow ways of adding further services to community pubs and integrating them into a burgeoning global community.
