Spotlighting Future of Hospitality and FoodService

Sustainable tourism in the Asia-Pacific region is increasingly gaining momentum as both a necessity and an opportunity within the hotel sector. Previously limited to superficial measures like opt-in linen changes and glass water bottles, properties are now moving towards integrating more rooted, innovative measures in their infrastructure.

This is most evident in Singapore, where over 40% of hotels are steadfastly test-bedding new technologies and innovations while pursuing Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) certification. To support these efforts,
FHA-HoReCa debuts the
Future of Hospitality Seminar, gathering hospitality industry leaders to discuss key themes shaping the sector.

Focused on fostering innovation and sustainability, this seminar will feature speakers from
Hotel Associations of various countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand), Singapore Institute of Technology, Global Sustainable Tourism Council®, and SPORE Gardens, cover
three themes: Envisioning the Future of Hospitality, Sustainability and Hotel Design, and Technology & Innovation.
