Sustainable Hospitality in Progress is a digital initiative spearheaded by Wayaj to promote the diffusion of the best sustainable practices in hospitality by encouraging the exchange of information among the industry’s professionals.
The initiative encompasses a series of webinars called Responsible Travel Makers. These free sessions showcase and celebrate sustainable initiatives and practices as well as addressing challenges faced by hotels and other hospitality operators when implementing sustainable solutions at their properties. As well as the webinars, we have created a Linkedin group called Sustainable Hospitality in Progress as a forum where all members can continue the conversation and explore some of the solutions that others have adopted. This collaborative approach is essential for creating a resilient and fair tourism industry. As such, Wayaj sustainability specialists will also share tips and advice.
At Wayaj, we support a wide definition of sustainability, one that includes not only technologies, facilities and processes but also socio-economic factors such as labor practices and local community empowerment through cultural recognition and safeguard.
Make the right choice for our planet and for your business!
