Rethinking the Value and Sustainability of Major Events: My Perspective on FITUR in the Digital Era
As sustainability and innovation become essential to the hotel industry, this article examines the relevance and impact of major events such as FITUR. From time efficiency and authentic networking to the environmental paradox they represent, I share why I have chosen not to attend these events and how our industry can move towards a greener, more responsible future.
At the threshold of a new era for the hotel industry, we find ourselves at a crossroads between innovation and sustainability. The urgency of climate change resonates across our sector, prompting us to rethink sustainable practices—not as an option, but as an imperative. This leads us to question how we can reconcile the demands of a globalised market with environmental responsibility, particularly at large-scale events such as FITUR.

In this context, we face the challenge of balancing the need to connect and grow professionally with the pressing task of reducing our environmental impact.
