Fritz Dickamp

Fritz Dickamp born in November 1990 and starting his hospitality career in his teens as a bellboy of 16 years of age with Kempinski, he then moved on to study and work in Scotland, the UK and USA and graduated from Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne in International Hospitalty Management in late 2013. Founded by Fritz Dickamp and a fellow university-friend in early 2015, L.I.K.E. focuses on providing innovative digital solutions, consulting and management assistance for both hospitality & non-hospitality service companies.

Fritz Dickamp belongs to a generation in hospitality that combines enthusiasm for the industry with understanding for the business.

Since the start of the company he has constantly increased the reach and awareness of L.I.K.E. by being a keynote speaker at several tourism fairs, events and hospitality conventions and also being a guest-lecturer at several European hospitality management schools, including Hotelschool The Hague, Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne and several others. Whilst the topics of digitization and digital marketing in hospitality always remain at the core of his keynotes, presentations and workshops, Fritz Dickamp always assembles them in ways that both audience and potential readers enjoy the topics delivered with both his signature sense of humor and realism.

Some of his more recent appearances as a keynote-speaker and host include the ITB Berlin, the Hotel Innovations Tag (Gastrosuisse), HDV (Hotel Direktoren Verband Deutschland) and multiple appearances for the DEHOGA (Deutscher Hotellerie- & Gaststättenverband).

Fritz Dickamp is an entrepreneur at heart which in combination with his passion for the hospitality industry makes him a real threat to all those who like stagnancy and who think the industry is doing well the way it is. “The goal with L.I.K.E. Hospitality Consulting is simply to make a difference; provide services that the industry is longing for and help hospitality businesses in the unpredictable modern world of technology and digitization.” L.I.K.E. has since 2015 been involved with over 200 clients from the hospitality sector in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK and France. In 2018 L.I.K.E. was awarded the German Brand Award in the category of “Brand Activation Social Media” for a successfully completed client project.

Most recently Fritz Dickamp has integrated hotelwebbee. (www.hotelwebbee.com) a full-service digital and creative agency for hotel- and hospitality businesses into the portfolio to complement the consulting services of L.I.K.E.

Additionally he is co-host of the Smack Hospitality podcast (www.smack.media), a format launched in the fall of 2019 that has quickly become a fan-favorite amongst both industry veterans and newcomers for its unprecedented open and fun format covering a variety of aspects within hospitality.
