The hospitality industry stands at a crossroads between a series of choices that will shape its future. Traditionally, sustainability efforts have centred on minimising environmental impact. However, an innovative approach is required for hotels to become agents of positive change. This extends from the improvement and restoration of destinations to the protection of their natural and social ecosystems. Regenerative Hospitality represents a fundamental shift in mindsets. Instead of simply reducing harm, forward-thinking hospitality businesses are now creating net-positive impacts, leaving places better than they found them. This isn’t just environmental stewardship; it’s a complete reimagining of business purpose within the interconnected living systems.

Reviews may serve as the new “trust badge” distinguishing genuine guest experiences from SEO-driven marketing noise. AI-powered hotel discovery is reshaping the way travelers search, evaluate, and ultimately book accommodations. Due to generative AI and large language models (LLMs) drawing from multiple data sources, guest reviews have emerged as the most reliable source of truth. They are not just influencing human decision-making but actively shaping what AI presents to potential travelers. Hotels that master the art of review-driven content, reputation management, and SEO optimization will secure long-term visibility in the age of AI-powered hotel discovery.

Scaling a business is easy to talk about, but rarely easy to do, especially when the ambition involves not only new markets, but also new cultures, regulations, and expectations. Over the past decade, I’ve had the opportunity to support the growth of a global hospitality group, closing over 150 transactions and entering more than 20 new markets across EMEA.
