Recast: Why regenerative tourism is the future of hospitality

Episode notes

In this recast episode of Hotel Moment, Karen Stephens engages with Aradhana Khowala, CEO of Aptamind Partners and a visionary leader in regenerative tourism development. With extensive experience advising presidents, prime ministers, and global CEOs across 85 countries, Aradhana brings a provocative perspective to the hospitality industry's most pressing challenges. Throughout the conversation, Aradhana challenges the industry's approach to sustainability, arguing that tourism has been fundamentally "extractive" and calling for a shift to regenerative models that give back more than they take. She delivers a controversial assessment of AI in travel, describing much of current innovation as "lipstick on legacy" systems rather than true technological advancement.
