Chicago Hospitality Charter (30 June 2023, Global)
This Hospitality Charter was prepared in the context of “The Future of Work in Chicago’s Hospitality Industry” event, a meeting co-sponsored by collaborating organizations and partners of the US-Canada Working Group of the FOWLS Project.
Chicago Hospitality Charter
We are Chicagoans, and we affirm the fundamental dignity of all persons. We embrace hospitality as a fundamental civic virtue that links our residents with all our visitors. Together, we commit ourselves to continue to build and develop a culture of hospitality in Chicago.
We understand hospitality as the generous and friendly treatment of visitors, guests, and strangers. We recognize the power of hospitality to break down barriers that keep people apart from each other and to build a deep sense of community.
As our forebearers have done for many generations, today we value and welcome new residents coming from every culture and every corner of the world. We value our diverse ethnic and racial mix. We value our diverse cultures and languages and faith traditions. We value the many festivals, cuisines, and music that all give a distinctive flavor to Chicago. We are proud of this, and we call on all Chicagoans to continue to build this culture of hospitality.
We acknowledge and value the crucial role that the hospitality industry occupies in the economic life of our city. When visitors and city-dwellers take advantage of our restaurants, hotels, museums, sports and entertainment venues, and our recreational and convention spaces, they contribute to our city’s economic well-being and quality of life. Welcoming people to our city with a heart of hospitality brings economic value. The hospitality industry truly is a major economic engine in our city that provides jobs and wages, services, and tax revenues. It often provides the first stable employment for immigrants, young people, and others. For these reasons, we need to pledge our support and encouragement of hospitality in Chicago.
As we probe the deeper meaning of hospitality in Chicago, we need to identify what is at the heart of hospitality. Although we refer to the “hospitality industry,” we must recognize that it is unlike industries that produces a product. Hospitality is always and foremost a human encounter, a human interaction.
We are convinced that those who engage in the hospitality businesses in our city ought to place this human encounter at the center of their business model. That means that those who engage in hospitality need to recognize that the key ingredients for hospitality will always include nourishment, safe and clean spaces, and friendly personal interactions.
Those who direct businesses in hospitality certainly have responsibilities to owners and shareholders but not to them alone. These directors enter a covenant with the citizens of our city, with guests, and with hospitality workers. Workers and guests and managers all share a common humanity that deserves full respect. Fair prices, safe facilities, professional execution of work du>es, as well as living wages, benefits, a humane workload, and fair processes for securing labor rights all reflect a genuine commitment to a culture of hospitality in Chicago. Honoring these values, the future of work in the hospitality industry in Chicago looks bright.
Chicago hospitality workers honor the human encounter with guests and visitors. They are so often the first people to greet visitors to our city. A smile, a hello, a word of welcome can do what an automated kiosk can never do. Technology can enhance efficiency, but only as a complement to our human interactions.
To the guests and visitors to whom we extend our Chicago hospitality, we invite you to express your gratitude with your courtesy and respect, as you enjoy your visit to our city.
For our part, we the undersigned commit ourselves to continuing to build a culture of hospitality in Chicago.

Esta Carta de Hospitalidad se elaboró en el contexto de la Consulta sobre la Promoción de “El cuidado es trabajo, el trabajo es cuidado: Hacia la construcción de una Comunidad Transformadora Global y contribución a la agenda global de desarrollo”. El documento presenta un balance de la etapa actual de nuestro viaje y sirve como marco general para guiar nuestros futuros esfuerzos de seguimiento.
Carta de Hospitalidad de Chicago
Somos residentes de Chicago y afirmamos la dignidad fundamental de todas las personas. Abrazamos a la hospitalidad como virtud cívica que vincula a las y los residentes de Chicago con nuestros visitantes. Juntos, nos comprometemos a la construcción y desarrollo de la hospitalidad en Chicago.
Definimos la hospitalidad como el trato generoso y amistoso de las y los visitantes, huéspedes y desconocidos. Reconocemos el poder de la hospitalidad para romper las barreras que nos separan y para construir una sensación profunda de comunidad.
Como han hecho nuestros antepasados durante generaciones, hoy valoramos y damos la bienvenida a las y los residentes nuevos de todas las culturas y rincones del mundo. Valoramos nuestra diversidad étnica y racial. Valoramos las diversas culturas y lenguas y tradiciones de fe. Valoramos los fesEvales, las comidas, y la música que dan un sabor único a Chicago. Nos da orgullo esta tradición, y llamamos a las y los residentes de Chicago que sigan construyendo esta cultura de hospitalidad.
Reconocemos el valor y el papel críEco que ocupa la industria de hospitalidad en la vida económica de nuestra ciudad. Cuando las y los visitantes y residentes aprovechan de nuestros restaurantes, hoteles, museos, sedes deporEvas, y nuestros centros recreacionales y de convenciones, están contribuyendo al bienestar económico y la calidad de vida de nuestra ciudad. Dar la bienvenida a nuestra ciudad con corazón y hospitalidad trae valor económico. La industria de hospitalidad es un motor económico en nuestra ciudad que provee puestos de trabajo, salarios, servicios e impuestos. Provee en muchas ocasiones el primer puesto de trabajo estable para inmigrantes, jóvenes y otros. Por estas razones, necesitamos declarar nuestro apoyo y aliento para la hospitalidad en Chicago.
Cuando exploramos el significado más profundo de la hospitalidad en Chicago, debemos idenEficar que hay en el corazón de la hospitalidad. Aunque nos referimos a la “industria de hospitalidad,” hay que reconocer que no se compara con las industrias que generan un producto. La hospitalidad es siempre en su esencia un encuentro humano, una interacción humana.
Estamos convencidos de que las empresas que realizan negocios de hospitalidad en nuestra ciudad deben situar este encuentro humano en el centro de sus modelos de negocio. Eso significa que las empresas de hospitalidad deben reconocer que los ingredientes esenciales para la hospitalidad siempre incluirán la alimentación, los espacios limpios y seguros, y las interacciones personales amistosas.
Las personas que manejan los negocios de hospitalidad Eenen responsabilidades claras hacia los dueños y accionistas, pero no sólo hacia ellos. Estas personas entran en un convenio con las y los residentes de nuestra ciudad, con nuestros huéspedes, y con las y los trabajadores de hospitalidad. Las y los trabajadores, huéspedes y gerentes comparten una humanidad en común que merece un respeto profundo. Se ve reflejado el compromiso a la cultura de hospitalidad de Chicago en los precios justos, los predios seguros, la ejecución profesional de los deberes de trabajo, tanto como en los salaries dignos, los beneficios, los cargos de trabajo humanos y los procesos justos para asegurar los derechos laborales. Cuando honramos estos valores, garanEzamos un lindo futuro de trabajo en la industria de hospitalidad de Chicago.
Las y los trabajadores de hospitalidad dignifican al encuentro humano con nuestros huéspedes y visitantes. Muchas veces, son las primeras personas que dan la bienvenida a las y los visitantes en nuestra ciudad. Una sonrisa, un “hola”, o una palabra de bienvenida puede hacer lo que un quiosco automaEzado nunca podrá hacer. La tecnología puede ayudar con el avance de la eficiencia, pero solo como complemento de las interacciones humanas.
Para nuestros huéspedes y visitantes, a los cuáles brindamos la hospitalidad de Chicago, los invitamos a expresar su graEtud con cortesía y respeto mientras disfrutan su visita a nuestra ciudad.
Por nuestra parte, nosotras y nosotros que aquí firmamos, nos comprometemos a seguir construyendo una cultura de hospitalidad en Chicago.
