This timely and innovative book offers an inspirational and thought-provoking journey into the future world of hospitality by conceptualizing an innovative future where hotels transcend traditional boundaries and evolve into dynamic hubs of innovation, environmental stewardship, community engagement, and personal growth at the guest, employee, and local resident level.
Written to captivate not just industry specialists but also academia and general enthusiasts, this book presents a stimulating exploration of the transformative effects hotels can have on individuals, destination communities, and society at large.The book has three parts, with each part combining current trends with speculative future advancements, aiming to inspire and challenge entrepreneurs, educators, and researchers to think of hotel innovation beyond the constraints of today's technology and societal norms. The first part focuses on the individual-level transformation that hotels can instigate, while the second part delves into the influential role of hotels as agents of community-wide transformation. The final part examines the role of hotels in driving system-wide transformation in environmental and social sustainability and ecological conservation by developing a renewed purpose for them. This groundbreaking book conceives the transformative hotels of the future and provides a futuristic perspective focusing on the fundamental effects that hotels can have on individuals, the society, and the planet.
The book aims to challenge and inspire hoteliers, hospitality students, and scholars to think of hotels under a new light.
