Thursday, May 23, 2024 IHG Hotels & Resorts calls for industry-wide collaboration, reinforcing its commitment to responsible business practices. The travel and hospitality sector is a cornerstone of the global economy, providing one in 10 jobs and contributing over $7.7 trillion to the world’s GDP.
By supporting local communities, it enables economies to flourish. The industry is expanding, with over one billion international travelers last year, and even more expected in the future. The enduring appeal of travel, whether for leisure, business, or a mix of both (a growing trend among “blended” travelers), underscores its human significance.
Traveling to connect with family and friends and create lasting memories is a fundamental part of our humanity. Given its vast scale, the hospitality industry has a significant opportunity to positively impact the world. However, this comes with the challenge of adapting our infrastructure to be more sustainable, ensuring growth is achieved responsibly.
At IHG Hotels & Resorts, we prioritize this challenge. For years, our commitment to caring for people, communities, and the planet has defined us. This ethos is why we proudly support Vision 2045.
With a global portfolio of over 6,300 hotels, we have a unique opportunity to enhance the lives of millions daily, bolster local economies, and promote prosperity while acting as a positive force within communities. We also recognize the growing expectations from hotel owners, guests, collea.
