World Panel: The Best Sustainability Resources: Knowledge for Responsible Hoteliers

As we enter 2022, we all recognize the imperative to put commitments into actions. With a rapid increase in complex terms, advanced scientific output and global citizen interaction behind all topics under the umbrella ‘sustainability’, we need trustworthy information sources to contribute to the short, medium and long-term development and implementation of solutions while staying on top of the most important scientific outputs and business best practices.

While the internet has improved access to information and knowledge, it has also brought forth new forms of exclusion and inequity by creating a ‘tunnel-vision’; It then comes down to quality control over the information (and not the volume of information).

Experts were asked for recommendations where to find trusted, reliable, and credible sources for news, current events, and research with the following question in mind:
