We’re passionate about making sustainability practical and accessible – and we know that experience is key. That’s why we’re teaming up with Dubai College of Tourism and University of Wollongong, Dubai to bring their students onboard to give students the chance to work on real projects that connect sustainability and hospitality. Students will explore real-world challenges and proposed actionable solutions, honing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills along the way.
🎓Dubai College of Tourism
We are partnering with Dubai College of Tourism over 9 weeks to guide students through an in-depth, practical research initiative focused on sustainable hospitality operations.
🔍 Student Research Focus:
Hotel Slippers: What happens after a single use? Can we recycle them instead of sending them to landfill?
Bottled Water: Comparing the environmental and financial impacts of imported bottled water versus local initiatives like Dubai Can.
🎓University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD)
Our collaboration with the University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD) offers students the opportunity to explore how new age technology and data-driven innovations can enable hotels to operate more efficiently, reduce their environmental impact, and engage in more sustainable practices across their operations.
🔍 Student Research Focus:
- Emerging Technologies: How AI, AR, and blockchain can accelerate sustainability initiatives within the hospitality sector.
By connecting students directly with real-world challenges and opportunities, we are generating valuable insights that hotels and hospitality leaders can apply to reduce waste, enhance sourcing strategies, and improve sustainability outcomes.
👏We’re proud to be shaping the next generation of sustainability champions — and this is only the beginning.
