​Hotels as Catalysts for Regeneration: Redefining Hospitality for a Thriving Future - Blue Stage at ITB Berlin: 3:20 pm

​The travel industry is at a turning point. Traditional tourism models have contributed to environmental degradation, cultural homogenization, and social inequality—posing not only sustainability challenges but also reputational risks. It’s no longer enough to minimize harm. For tourism to truly thrive, it must actively restore ecosystems, empower communities, and celebrate cultural diversity.

​Join Regenerative Travel for this panel on the Blue Stage that will explore the vital role hotels can play in driving this transformation, reshaping hospitality to become a force for regeneration.

​Speakers:

• ​Moderator: Amanda Ho, Co-Founder & CEO, Regenerative Travel

• ​⁠Holly Tuppen, Impact & Learning Lead, The Long Run

• ​Dr. Carlos Martin-Rios, Associate Professor of Management, EHL Hospitality Business School

• ​Namgyal Sherpa, Founder, Sherpa Hospitality Group 

• ​Birka Valentin, Head of Strategic Partnerships, Travalyst

​We’re hosting an RT Community Meet-Up on Thursday, March 6 at Green Door Bar in Berlin at 7:00 PM, right after the conference.

​Come connect with fellow regenerative travel enthusiasts over a drink (pay your own way) in a relaxed setting. We’d love to see you there.
