World Sustainability Panel – Driving Resiliency and Sustainability in Hospitality

Five Priorities for 2021

Recovery, resilience, recalibration, or bouncing back are a few examples of keywords that are at the center of any discussion surrounding the hospitality industry’s economic prospects this past year.

• How do we ensure that sustainability is a component of resiliency (or vice versa)?

What are the five priorities the hospitality industry should set to tackle resiliency and sustainability at the same time in 2021?
