Planet Hospitality: The Regeneration Awakens

In the keynote, we explore a meaningful shift in the hospitality industry. This session challenges the view that hospitality is about fulfilling every individual desire at the expense of broader ecological and social accountability.

On a crowded planet, freedom of choice does not absolve responsibility of impact especially at a time when we are reaping the consequences of our actions. Each decision along the hospitality value chain, each stakeholder interaction, and each guest stay matters. How about a new social contract in hospitality? Rooted in sustainability and regeneration, the contract includes an evolved role of hoteliers not just as providers but as facilitators of regenerative efforts, brokers of sustainable choices, and catalysators of connections.

Through compelling practical insights and supported with scientific evidence, we explain how this shift is not only feasible but essential; a decade after the Paris Agreement, marrying hospitality experience with planetary and societal health is essential. Hospitality can lead this change, are you ready to step into this new era?
