    Heavenly hostels

    The annual conference and general meeting of the Heavenly Hostels took place in Pappenheim from March 17-19, 2026.

    ASSD had the opportunity to present our software and technologies to the 300 members at the conference.

    We would like to thank you for the invitation, the many interesting discussions and the stimulating exchange.

    The Heavenly Hostels, whose names we find incredibly beautiful, fitting and unique, describe themselves like this:

    The Heavenly Hostels are an association of guesthouses that maintain a Christian profile. If you are planning a trip, you are sure to find the right room in one of the Heavenly Hostels, whether you are looking for a cozy self-catering house, a youth hostel, a family recreation center, a conference house or a hotel.

    They are often located in special places and are often perceived as “places of power” that are good for body and soul.

    Thank you Pappenheim and thank you dear Himmlische Herbergen for the warm welcome and the great conversations. See you next time!

  • Work and Age

    Work and Age

    50+ (and some of us feel that :-)) is not old. On the contrary: 30 years of experience, a cool head in crises and a huge network are priceless.

    At best, you have learned on your journey towards 50+ that true strength lies in combining experience with curiosity and continuing to learn every day – especially from the young talents in the team.

    We at ASSD are a very stable, reliable mixed-age team and everyone benefits from the know-how and expertise of the others. It’s a wonderfully effective exchange and a fantastic way to work together.

    Many thanks to the entire ASSD team from the 50+ Claudia

    In addition to her job, she loves to travel and cook and knows just about everything there is to know about wine and food. She is also an incomparable sports enthusiast and cycles several thousand kilometers every year!

    Anna is also an absolute family person, loves spending time with her friends and is always ready to try out new places in the city. Anyone who knows her is very lucky – she’s a wonderful person and when you’re out and about with her, a good time is inevitable.

  • Reisenetz membership

    Reisenetz membership

    The year 2026 is off to a great start – ASSD is now a member of Reisenetz, the German professional association for child and youth travel. We are very much looking forward to the future cooperation and lively exchange!

    Safe travel for children and young people requires trust in quality – the Travel Network is one of the most active and largest networks in this area. Its members come from all areas of the industry. Together, they are particularly concerned about safe travel for children and young people.

    The mission statement of the travel network speaks for itself:

    “The members of Reisenetz are an independent network of commercial and non-profit organizations from Germany and abroad. We offer services for children and youth travel as tour operators, providers of educational programs, accommodation, transport companies, insurance or as consultants. Our members work in partnership with each other and the exchange of ideas between colleagues is important to us. We work for sustainable, educationally responsible travel for children and young people and create spaces for positive, development-promoting experiences. We advocate cultural diversity and the participation of all children and young people in children’s and youth travel.

    Xenophobia and any kind of discrimination, especially against marginalized groups, is at odds with our international, cosmopolitan and democratic self-image. Compliance with and implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is a very important goal for us. A particular focus is on the prevention of sexualized violence in child and youth travel.

    We are committed to fair competition and sensible legal framework conditions. We continuously support the professionalization of travel for children and young people and set binding standards for the quality of our members’ offers.”

  • A look behind the scenes

    A look behind the scenes

    Today we want to take a look behind the scenes at ASSD and introduce one of our valued employees, as we celebrate the fifth anniversary of our colleague Alexander Noppenberger. He is a Senior Developer and joined our team exactly five years ago.

    At the moment, Alex is mainly working on a functionality concerning automatic e-mails. As soon as an e-mail is placed in a special folder, the ASSD PMS automatically knows what to answer or which PMS response to make. Ingenious!

    Alexander Noppenberger’s hobbies include restoring old games consoles and programming in his spare time – true passion knows no bounds :-). Alex is also a big fan of long-distance travel, which he undertakes together with his Colombian wife. And as soon as he has some time left over, he brushes up on his Spanish.

    Alex, we are very happy to have you on the team and look forward to the next five years with you. Thank you for your active support!
