About Hotel Resilient

Hotel Resilient is a leading digital platform that equips the hospitality and tourism industry with the tools to assess, enhance, and communicate resilience and sustainability.

By leveraging scientific risk analytics, real-time data, and industry-aligned best practices, we help hotels, destinations, and tourism businesses proactively manage climate risks, disasters, and sustainability challenges.

Our platform provides accommodations with a detailed footprint of their disaster and climate risks, along with actionable recommendations to build resilience and ensure business continuity.

We take a destination-focused approach, partnering with Destination Management Organizations (DMOs), Destination Management Companies (DMCs), Tour Operators, and local governments to foster collaboration and provide a gateway for hotels to display their sustainability practices to a global audience, using standards aligned with the industry standards such as the Global Sustainable in Tourism Council (GSTC).

We recognize that small and mid-sized independent hotels often face barriers to sustainability certification, despite their strong environmental commitments. Through a cost-free, collaborative verification system, we remove financial obstacles, allowing accommodations to be recognized for their sustainability efforts and gain visibility in the growing eco-conscious travel market.

Our mission

Our mission is to empower the hospitality and tourism industry to build resilience and drive sustainability. We achieve this through data-driven insights, industry collaboration, and actionable solutions that help businesses and destinations mitigate risks, adapt to climate challenges, and implement proactive solutions that ensure long-term success in an evolving world.

By fostering industry collaboration, ensuring data transparency, and removing barriers to resilience and sustainability assessments, we create a future where resilient and sustainable tourism is not just a goal, but a standard that is more accessible, actionable, and impactful.
