Responsible Hospitality Institute (RHI)
The Responsible Hospitality Institute (RHI) is the leading North American expert on nightlife. RHI offers resources, events and consultation services to help communities successfully plan, manage and police dining and entertainment districts. Whether your Main Street wants to add new bars, clubs and restaurants or needs to manage impacts from current nightlife, we have resources for you!
RHI can help your community prevent or better manage bar fights, noise, crime, DUI and conflicts with residents before they start or escalate.
Why should your community invest in the nighttime economy? Well planned and managed nightlife: grows city service funds; reduces crime; revitalizes business districts by driving foot traffic; enhances quality of life for residents and visitors; maximizes city funding through streamlined systems; draws a creative class of entrepreneurs; and expands tourism and convention trade.
RHI offers the following opportunities:
Events: RHI will bring nightlife solutions to twenty states throughout North America in its 2010 Sociable City Forum series. Other RHI events include online Webinars and seminars, as well as Networking Conferences.
Services: RHI offers one day seminars to mobilize and orient stakeholders to nightlife issues and challenges, as well as a comprehensive Hospitality Zone Assessment of a town or city's dining and entertainment district.
Resources: RHI's Planning, Managing and Policing Hospitality Zones: A Practical Guide is an essential tool for cities with a nighttime economy. Members of RHI's Sociable City Network access an online clearinghouse of news, tools, best practices and case studies on nightlife safety and vibrancy.
Network: RHI formed the Sociable City Network to engage an international audience in information exchange and peer-to-peer collaboration on nightlife solutions.

Vince Pardo from Tampa, Fl
RHI has been a tremendous asset in late night economy research, best practices and helping us establish public policy and operational practices. Outstanding resourse!!
RHI an Outstanding Resource Dennis Smallie from Stockton, CA
In 2006 as the Assistant to the Mayor and after a Civil Grand Jury investigation recommended Stockton, CA become more promoter and event friendly, we brought in RHI to help us change our image. They helped us through a collaborative approach develop a Hospitality (Entertainment) Zone from the ground level. They helped educate business onwers, elected officials and citizens. Thanks to RHI, they helped us change the image of Stockton. Now as the Executive Director of the Downtown Stockton Alliance (a Property and Business Based Improvement District) we continually learn from RHI staff, their conferences and resources.
Consensus Builders Kimberly Rosenberg from New Orleans, LA
Jim Peters and his RHI Team have a proven track record. They have the skill and experience to work with you to address your community's unique needs in order to create a collaboratively developed plan for a vibrant nighttime economy to exist within a residential neighborhood. Post-Katrina, Jim and Co. worked with the French Quarter-Marigny Historic Area Management District (a political subdivision of the State created in 2007) to develop a plan for the revitalization of the nighttime economy of the French Quarter and Marigny Triangle. It was essential that the plan also address the concerns of the long-time residential communities of the both neighborhoods which, historically, was an uphill battle. The project outcome was a consensus-based plan reflective of the goals, needs and concerns of the hospitality industry, City government (the Mayor's Office, City Council, law enforcement, and regulators), local businesses AND the area's residents. Jim earned a gold star for consensus building!
