This initiative ensures that the hospitality sector contributes more to the environment and society than it takes, enhancing its overall impact.
“It’s significant that on Earth Day, the Alliance welcomes Kerzner to our movement – a community of industry leaders pioneering a prosperous future where hospitality uplifts people, honours our planet, and enriches communities. We look forward to Kerzner showcasing best practices and sharing knowledge as we look to drive meaningful change, ensuring a more sustainable and resilient future for hospitality worldwide.” – Glenn Mandziuk, CEO of the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance
