Sustainability. A big topic that not only gives many hoteliers a headache, but sometimes also scares them! Where do I start? How do I approach it properly? Will it break my costs? Sometimes, however, you just have to get started and see where the journey takes you. We bring people on stage who are just starting this journey or are already in the middle of it. Sharing experiences. Learning from experiences. That is our motto!
