"As women, our ability to create community is real." - Anna Blue Here are some of the women who've appeared on the Sustainable Hospitality podcast that serve as hoteliers, concierges, and/or in the hospitality industry. Each of these women have had so much to say, and so many bright ideas. We're proud to have gotten a chance to talk to them about various subjects. Some of the subjects include (but are not limited to): providing comfortable environments for women in the workplace, going above and beyond for hotel guests to make them feel welcomed, providing healthier plant-based foods to people, and (of course) creating a sustainable travel environment and ecosystem that helps our earth, not hinders it.
