3. Operational Efficiency and Sustainability: Harnessing Technology & Education

And in addition, a section on Roadblocks to Overcome where c-level executives answer the following question: “If there was one major roadblock you could remove towards a net positive journey in the hospitality industry, what would that be?”

In today’s competitive environment, ESG lies at the core of business strategy. Crucial to advancing sustainability is to leverage innovation. Thus, the “innovation stack” refers to a collection of technologies, methods, and strategies that, when effectively combined, can lead to more resilient, adaptive, and future-ready hospitality businesses.

The key lies not just in individual practices, but equally in the access, scalability, and application throughout the value chain.

Wishing you a week-end of fruitful reading!
