My time as a co-lead of the Global Future Council’s workstream on Sustainable Destinations reinforced the importance of the human capital building to ensure lasting change. As an industry that accounts for a significant ratio of India’s labour market, hospitality is uniquely positioned to create forums for knowledge sharing and future shaping.
