Indeed, the hospitality model has brought us more freedom and choice in services, higher quality dining experiences and less institutional designs. However, simply applying the concepts and operational structures of a hotel or resort without considering the significant differences inherent in senior living can backfire by undermining purpose and a sense of community. Senior living settings require a special approach – a blend of hospitality, community building, and a focus on supporting meaningful purpose.

Over half of Travel & Tourism demand is driven by the desire to explore nature, whether it is an international safari of a lifetime or a day trip exploring the countryside. Furthermore, Travel & Tourism is one of six economic sectors with over 80% of its goods and services highly dependent on nature. Similarly, conservation efforts, protected areas and local economies are fuelled by Travel & Tourism revenue and the presence of visitors. In literary terms, nature and biodiversity are the book and the Travel & Tourism sector is the publisher.
