Sustainability is becoming a cornerstone of the tourism industry, thanks to the efforts of women leaders. Leila Hassan, owner of EcoVoyage Resorts, has set a new standard with her eco-friendly hotels that minimize environmental impact while supporting local communities.
“Sustainability in tourism isn’t optional—it’s the only path forward,” Hassan emphasized during a keynote speech.
EcoVoyage Resorts are powered by renewable energy and built using sustainable materials. The resorts also prioritize local employment, ensuring that communities benefit directly from tourism revenue.
Hassan’s model has inspired other hospitality businesses to adopt sustainable practices, demonstrating that profitability and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand. Women in hospitality are leading the way, showing that ethical tourism is not just possible but essential for the future.
