In this exclusive interview, we connected with Rohit Pareek, Managing Director of Earthian Hotels & Resorts, to discuss the future of sustainable hospitality, cultural integration, the challenges he faces as a Managing Director, and more.
Rajasthan, the land of maharajas, majestic forts, and vibrant culture, now offers a unique hospitality experience that blends luxury with sustainability. Earthian Hotels N Resorts, a forward-thinking hospitality group, is redefining what it means to travel responsibly in this captivating region.
They offer spacious accommodations, impeccable service, and all the modern amenities you desire. But they go beyond mere indulgence. Here, luxury is redefined by respecting the environment and preserving the region's rich heritage.
Whether you crave the thrill of a tiger safari in Ranthambore National Park or the serenity of ancient temples in Kumbhalgarh, Earthian ensures an authentic and enriching experience. The dedicated staff, with their passion for the region, will curate personalized itineraries that immerse you in Rajasthan's cultural treasures.
But Earthian's commitment extends beyond luxury and adventure. They actively support local communities and conservation efforts. Imagine participating in a pottery workshop led by local artisans or contributing to tree-planting initiatives. Earthian encourages guests to connect with the land and its people, fostering a sense of responsible tourism.
How do you envision the future of sustainable hospitality, and what specific innovations do you see Earthian Hotels & Resorts pioneering in this field?
The future of sustainable hospitality hinges on crafting eco-friendly experiences that honor nature and local communities. At Earthian Hotels & Resorts, we lead by example, employing traditional building methods such as mud and lime mortar. Moreover, we integrate renewable energy sources to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Our commitment extends to waste reduction initiatives and the promotion of biodiversity through organic farming and thoughtfully landscaped environments.
How has your background as an engineer influenced your approach to hotel management and the design of eco-friendly resorts?
My engineering background enables me to think creatively and devise innovative solutions for sustainable design and operations. While I appreciate the skills taught in hospitality courses, my unique perspective allows me to tackle challenges differently, ensuring our resorts remain both eco-friendly and luxurious.
Can you share some unique experiences or amenities that guests can look forward to at the new resorts opening this year?
Guests can look forward to unique experiences at our resorts, such as staying in mud villas with open-to-sky showers, enjoying organic meals at our restaurants, and participating in cultural performances at our open-air stage. Each resort is designed to offer a deep connection with nature and local culture. Additionally, guests can savor homemade brownies, sip Hi-Tea under a tree prepared on a chulha, and enjoy chulha-made rotis, experiencing the true flavors of Rajasthan.
How do you integrate the rich culture of Rajasthan into the guest experience while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability?
We integrate Rajasthan’s rich culture by showcasing local arts and crafts, hosting traditional performances, and serving authentic cuisine. Around 70% of our staff comes from local villages, and we regularly train them to enhance their skills, ensuring an authentic and sustainable experience for our guests. This creates moments and experiences that allow guests to fully immerse themselves in the true colors and culture of Rajasthan.
What are some of the biggest challenges you've faced in creating sustainable resorts, and how have you overcome them?
One of the biggest challenges is balancing luxury with sustainability. We overcome this by using eco-friendly materials and technologies without compromising on comfort. We also invest in continuous staff training and community engagement to foster a culture of sustainability.
Beyond the upcoming launches, what are your long-term plans for Earthian Hotels & Resorts, and how do you plan to expand the sustainability aspect further?
Our long-term plans include creating more experiential properties across different parts of Rajasthan and eventually expanding to other parts of the country. We aim to continuously improve our sustainability practices, collaborate with more local artisans, and introduce more green technologies to enhance our environmental impact.
How do you educate and engage guests about the importance of sustainability during their stay at your resorts?
We educate and engage guests through interactive workshops, eco-tours, and informative materials in their rooms. Our staff, trained in sustainability practices, also plays a crucial role in sharing knowledge and promoting eco-friendly behaviors among guests.
In what ways do Earthian Hotels & Resorts contribute to the local communities in Rajasthan, and how do you ensure that your sustainability efforts positively impact these areas?
We contribute to local communities by providing employment opportunities and promoting local arts and crafts. By employing and training local villagers, we help uplift the community and preserve cultural heritage. Our sustainability efforts ensure that we not only minimize environmental impact but also create a positive social impact.

In conversation with Hospitalitynews, Sidh N.C., Co-Founder and Managing Director of QNA International, offers an exclusive look into how the 12th Annual MILT Congress is set to redefine the outbound travel narrative for India.
The event was held from 24 to 25 July 2025 at Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon, MILT 2025 isn’t just another luxury travel summit. As Sidh puts it, “We’ve redesigned the event to create a strategic ecosystem where India’s top corporate buyers engage directly with the world’s most visionary travel and hospitality brands.”
The conversations at MILT 2025 revealed a clear shift in what luxury means to indian outbound travelers. It is no longer confined to opulent hotels or grand venues. Today's high value indian traveller seeks depth, intention, and emotional connection in their journeys.
From Gen Z-driven aspirations to immersive spiritual getaways, the Indian traveller is evolving rapidly. In this compelling discussion, Sidh outlines how the outbound market is no longer about checklists and sightseeing, but emotional value, hyper-personalisation, and authentic storytelling.
Social media emerged as a major driver of outbound travel decisions, especially among millenials and Gen Z. MILT 2025 highlighted how platforms like Instagram and YouTube are influencing not just where people travel, but why. Travel content creators, Vloggers, and digial storytellers are the new age travel agents offering immersive glimpses into destinations that were once discovered through brochures
With nearly 40% of outbound trips now business related, MILT Congress is becoming the axis where leisure meets innovation, and where destinations across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East position themselves not just to attract but understand the Indian mindset
He dives into the growing influence of Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the rise of women-led travel, and the seamless merging of technology, sustainability, and cultural connection.
What’s coming next? A travel revolution driven by meaning, not just mobility—where every booking is a story and every destination a deeper experience.

In a world where real estate is often seen as a numbers game, Dinesh Yadav, Founder and Managing Director of Fine Acers, is rewriting the rules. In an exclusive feature with Hospitalitynews, Dinesh shares how his brand is pioneering a new kind of investment, one where returns meet relaxation, and assets double as family getaways, wellness retreats, and legacy spaces.
Through Fine Acers and its collection of thoughtfully designed resorts, Dinesh is turning the traditional real estate model on its head. What makes his vision stand out? It’s the ability to offer more than just appreciation, it’s about creating value that’s deeply personal and profoundly profitable.
What if your investment could host your next family celebration?
What if it could be both a peaceful retreat and an income generator?
In this engaging discussion, Dinesh walks us through the inspiration behind the branded resort investment model, an idea born from observing global trends and Indian investor behaviour. As he points out, second homes in India have long existed, but they often come with challenges. Fine Acers addresses these pain points by offering fully managed, premium properties that balance lifestyle aspirations with stable returns.
From the rise of wellness tourism to the increasing demand for senior-friendly and destination wedding-ready spaces, Fine Acers is tapping into what modern investors truly seek,purposeful ownership. Backed by the post-pandemic travel revival and changing mindsets, this is more than a trend; it’s the evolution of real estate itself.
It was a thought-provoking conversation with Dinesh Yadav, one that sheds light on how emotional connection and financial intelligence can coexist in modern investments.
