Looking inside out: finding resilience in society

With the ongoing pandemic, where inter-regional and international travel is restricted, hotels are forced to rethink the way they do business. A hotel is not just a siloed concrete structure on a said street, but a building within a community. A hotel is a part of a larger local ecosystem, which is integrated within society. With traditional travel coming to an all-time low, hotels have little choice but to converge with their local/domestic society, creating several interdependencies. These interdependencies can be classified into four main categories – Economic, Environmental, Social, and Health. This latest industry report, by Ambika Gandhi, highlights mechanisms and ideas through which the hospitality industry can engage with society, under these four dimensions.
