25th 16:30 Dubai [13:30 UK] Responsible Hospitality in a Perfect Storm
Covid-19, climate change, biodiversity loss and increasing inequality,  the new normal will be a challenging trading environment for business and leisure travel. We have brought together leading thinkers and practitioners to share their ideas about how hotels manage risk and trade profitably over the next decade. Properties being built now will be operating in a very different environment in the 2030s, the decisions we make now will determine the assets we have to work with in the future. There are many tried and tested solutions, and there are some new ideas yet to be fully proven. Now is the time to take responsibility and weather the storm.
