I help the hospitality industry adopt a three-part sustainability strategy so that they can be a sought-out leader in environmental responsibility and thrive as a tourist gold star.
Luxury hotels are always looking to stand out amongst their competitors.
Eco-actions and eco-marketing are great ways to fill this niche. Luxury hotels often don’t know how to get started. Furthermore, customers have been confused and lost trust in the hotel industry
due to green washing and false marketing.
In a motivating and interactive presentation, your luxury hotel marketing and sales team will not only learn how to leverage eco but most importantly, learn how to stand out from competitors.
Dr. Marissa Jablonski will help debunk false eco-beliefs, explain the micro and macro levels of eco-action, and then extend these actions into marketing and communications so that your brand has a competitive advantage.
