Net Positive Hospitality in practice
There is no one-size-fits-all vision for what Net Positive looks like for the industry. Nor is there a limit to how ‘Net Positive’ a company can become. Therefore, this fourth stage is no longer a case of completing steps, and is, instead, a continuous process of expanding and deepening your company’s positive impact on people, communities, destinations and the planet.
