Hospitality at a Crossroads: The Challenge of Overtourism

As the global hospitality sector witnesses unprecedented growth, it also stands at a critical crossroads. The surge in travel demand, while a positive indicator of economic revival, has brought with it the mounting challenge of overtourism, placing immense pressure on natural ecosystems, local communities, and infrastructure. Destinations once celebrated for their pristine beauty are increasingly grappling with environmental degradation, resource strain, and unchecked development.

Earth Day as Action: Turning Intent into Impact

This Earth Day, RHG hotels across India are taking significant steps to translate intent into action, with a series of initiatives designed to foster awareness, reduce environmental impact, and inspire both guests and communities.
