Why Hospitality must lead the way towards a Regenerative World

Hospitality accounts for 10% of global GDP, while providing jobs to more than 348 million citizens worldwide. Besides, hospitality is a nexus sector deeply interconnected with agriculture and food systems, construction and real estate, energy and utilities, mobility and transport, waste and circular economy, culture and creative industries, health and well-being, education and capacity building. Hospitality also has the unique capacity to transform people and catalyse behavioral change by making regenerative principles tangible, offering rare sanctuaries for reconnection, and allowing individuals to focus on the essential. At a time of converging social, environmental and economic instability, how could the industry operate its metamorphosis to regenerate relationships with fellow individuals and the living environment? How can we harness this unique power of hospitality to lead the way towards a regenerative world?

Regenerative Hospitality is Here to Stay

The current system is failing us. Today’s sustainability practices are not enough to meet the scale of our planetary and social crises. Since the Industrial Revolution, our relationship with nature has shifted dramatically - from interdependence and interconnectedness to extraction. Human activity has pushed the planet beyond safe operating limits. As Rockström and colleagues revealed in their 2024 study, six of nine planetary boundaries have now been breached, threatening the delicate balance that sustains life.

Rebuilding Futures: Why Hiring Refugees Creates a More Welcoming World

In June 2024, on World Refugee Day, over 120 million people and counting have been forcibly displaced from their homes, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). This number is higher than ever before, as global conflicts and humanitarian crises–including the climate crisis–continue to force people around the world to flee their homes. As families who have had their lives upended resettle in new communities across the US, finding employment is one of the most pivotal, challenging, and rewarding steps in being able to provide for their families and reestablish roots.

How to Reduce Food Waste in Restaurants

Half-finished plates of food, vegetables that spoiled in the walk-in, and a few stale pieces of toast from the breakfast buffet don’t sound all that shocking. After each service, restaurant and hotel food waste isn’t very dramatic, but over time all the wasted food really adds up.
