ʻOi aku ka "hoʻokipa hoʻokipa" ma mua o ke ʻano - he mantra ia no nā mea he nui i ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa, a ke alakaʻi nei ʻo Baltimore i kāna mau hōkele, nā mea hoʻokipa, a me nā wahi meaʻai.
No ka laʻana, ʻo Hotel Revival, i wehe ʻia ma 2018, ke koi nei i nā palena ma Baltimore's Mount Vernon neighborhood, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi e hoʻokiʻekiʻe i nā ʻoihana kūloko a me nā leo i nā ala kūʻokoʻa. Hoʻokumu a hoʻokomo i ka huaʻōlelo, "Impact hospitality" i kona maikaʻi loa, hāʻawi ʻo Hotel Revival i kahi hiʻohiʻona hou o ka noʻonoʻo ʻana e hana maikaʻi nā mea he nui o ka ʻoihana e lawe i ke alakaʻi e ka trailblazer, ʻo Donte Johnson.
Hoʻomaka ia me kahi misionari maʻalahi: Make Lives Better. Ke nānā nei ma mua o ka maʻi maʻi, akā, ua lilo kēia misionari i mea koʻikoʻi ma Hotel Revival, kahi waiwai kūʻai i ʻāpana o JDV na Hyatt Hotels. Me ka Georgetown Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation, ua hoʻomaka ka hōkele i kāna mau papahana hopena i ka makahiki 2020. Ua hoʻolimalima ʻo ia i kāna Luna Hoʻokele mua o Culture & Impact, ʻo Jason Bass. Ma ka nānā ʻana i nā ʻoihana liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a me nā ʻoihana, hana ka hōkele i nā manawa kūpono no ke kaiāulu kūloko e ulu pū me ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa.
Ua ʻike ʻia nā hopena. Ua hui pū ka hōkele me nā ʻoihana liʻiliʻi kūloko e like me ka ʻeleʻele a me ka wahine nona ʻo Lor Tush e hāʻawi i ka pepa toilet bamboo, a me Black Acres Roastery no ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka kofe i loko o ka lumi. ʻO kāna papa inoa kaulana ʻo Zero Proof Zero Judgment ma ka pā hale hōkele e hōʻike ana i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana o ka hui o Hotel Revival ma waho o ka pahu e hōʻoia i ka poʻe a pau e pōmaikaʻi i nā mea e hana nei i loko o kona mau paia.
ʻO kēia nā alapiʻi a pau i ka Visit Baltimore's President and CEO Al Hutchinson's strategy and greater approach to make the city of Baltimore through the Visit Baltimore more fair and inclusive ma o nā hana e like me ka Warm Welcome Program.
Ma waena o Baltimore, aia nā hiʻohiʻona like ma nā wahi āpau a ma o ke kipa ʻana, hiki i nā huakaʻi ke komo i ka hopena nui o ka hoʻokipa ma Charm City.
Ke ʻimi nei ka luna hou o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Kiʻi ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻo Jenenne Whitfield, e hoʻomau i ka hana a ka hale hōʻikeʻike i ka hāpai ʻana i ka hoʻopono a me ka hoʻohui ʻana ma o kāna mau hōʻikeʻike. Ma ka hana ʻana i kahi hōʻikeʻike o nā mea hana kiʻi aʻo ponoʻī, ua hoʻohālikelike kēia hale hōʻikeʻike aupuni i ke kahua pāʻani a hāʻawi i kahi leo i nā leo kūʻokoʻa a i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma ʻAmelika.
ʻOiai ma ka hale ʻai ʻo Baltimore, ma ka hale kūʻai hou ʻo Lexington Market, ke ʻimi nei nā mea kūʻai aku e hele ma mua o ka hoʻōla ʻana i ka pōloli o ka poʻe, e hōʻike ana i nā ʻoihana kūloko e nā ʻoihana ʻeleʻele. ʻO Tossed Together, no ka laʻana, hāʻawi i nā huahana hou a me nā smoothies a ua wehe ʻia i kēia manawa ma ka mākeke Lexington hou. Ke ʻimi nei ka mea nona ʻo Tselane-Danielle Holloway e hoʻolilo i ka ʻai olakino i hiki i ke kaiāulu kūloko.
ʻAʻole kū i ka ʻai. Ma ka mākeke hoʻi, ʻo Urban Reads nona ka ʻeleʻele e hōʻike ana i nā puke e nā mea kākau ʻeleʻele a me nā paʻahao, e hoʻonui ana i ka hale kūʻai puke kaiaulu honua ʻo Tia Hamilton ma Lexington Market.
ʻO nā alakaʻi kūloko ma hope o kēia mau mea hoihoi e ʻōlelo mau nei "ʻae" i nā manaʻo hou e pono ai nā kaiāulu a puni lākou. ʻOiai he nui ka poʻe o ka ʻoihana huakaʻi e hakakā nei e ʻimi i nā ala e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ko lākou kaiāulu kūloko ma o kā lākou ʻoihana, ke alakaʻi nei nā ʻoihana Baltimore kūloko ma o ka laʻana.
