Could a carbon-neutral hot air balloon hotel become a reality?

The Future Hospitality Summit"We feel so honoured and excited to be here at the finals representing Cornell University and our hospitality concept. We have made incredible progress with our concept during our SHC journey, we have worked together with various coaches, received feedback from industry experts, and got the opportunity to present during this event. We believe it is great to think about sustainability, but now is the time to put sustainability into practice." "Today's presentations were brilliant, engaging, and all teams were in sync with what they were presenting. Listening to these fresh ideas, being in the traditional hotel industry, makes you think outside of the box. Some of these definitely have a realistic angle."
