The vital contribution of the hospitality sector to achieving the critical goal of sustainability was the central theme of the highly successful conference held on Tuesday, May 27th, in Rhodes. The event was co-organized by the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels and the Region of South Aegean.

The conference, entitled “Paving the Way Towards a Sustainable Future”, was the second in a series of events held under the initiative “Hospitality with Value for All”, celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels.

At the opening session, Dr. Georgios Petrakos, Professor of Quantitative Methods & IT at Panteion University and General Director of the Institute for Tourism Research and Forecasts (ITEP), presented a study conducted by ITEP entitled “ESG – Sustainability in the Hotel Sector”.
The study highlights the sector’s performance in terms of sustainability, with a specific focus on environmental protection, social responsibility, and modern corporate governance.

RIT, on behalf of the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels, is conducting, for the fourth consecutive year, a survey to assess employment and shortages in Greek Hotels. The survey period is from November 7 to November 30, 2024, and the reference period is the year 2024.

Monthly Survey measures in real-time the basic hotel variables defining the performance of the Greek hotels, such as occupancy rate and the average rate of double room.

The research refers both to the Hotel Performance Estimation of the current tourism season and to the serious issues faced by hoteliers in the operation of their businesses.
