To mark the beginning of 2025, the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance is releasing its latest podcast episode, "Reflections and Projections for 2025 – The Net Positive Hospitality Podcast," available now on Spotify. Alongside this, CEO Glenn Mandziuk shares his thought leadership, highlighting the achievements of 2024 and laying out an ambitious roadmap for the coming year.
Reflecting on 2024, Glenn emphasizes the industry's resilience and its strides in sustainability, innovation, and inclusivity.
Universal Sustainability KPIs: A milestone launch at COP29, these metrics provide a framework for measuring environmental performance, including greenhouse gas emissions and waste management.
Nature Positive Report: This collaborative guide offers actionable strategies to halt biodiversity loss, developed with UN Tourism and the World Travel and Tourism Council.
World Academy for Sustainable Hospitality: A groundbreaking platform, offering tailored sustainability training for hospitality professionals across all departments.
The first graduation of the Employability Programme in Egypt was a standout moment in 2024. By addressing barriers to workforce participation, this initiative empowered young women, showcasing the industry’s role in fostering equitable growth.
A bold leap in decarbonising food systems was achieved with the Decarbonising Hotel Food Systems report. This collaboration outlined the sector’s ability to cut 70 million metric tons of CO₂ annually through sustainable practices, paving the way for global impact.
Under the leadership of Chair Daniella Foster, the Alliance is steering its ambitious five-year strategy toward measurable outcomes. Key initiatives for 2025 include:
Releasing a comprehensive environmental guidebook and unveiling social KPIs.
Scaling the reach of the World Academy for Sustainable Hospitality to foster a global network of sustainability champions.
Strengthening partnerships to enhance inclusivity and sustainability in the hospitality industry.
As Glenn Mandziuk puts it, “Progress is only possible when we work together.” By uniting almost 30 new members and partners, the Alliance is driving meaningful change through shared commitment and collaboration.
The hospitality industry, long known for bringing people together, is now focused on doing so sustainably, ensuring a thriving future for all. As we step into 2025, the Alliance remains committed to its mission of creating a Net Positive Hospitality landscape.

Muscat Grand Mall, a premier destination under the Tilal Development Company, has partnered with SRED to launch "Little India" as its new social anchor—a vibrant hub showcasing the rich diversity of Indian culture, cuisine, fashion, and heritage. This strategic move sets the stage for Indian brands looking to expand in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region, leveraging Oman’s central location and the growing demand for curated international retail experiences.
Mr. Ali Hosni, Acting CEO/General Manager of Muscat Grand Mall, shared his excitement about the initiative:
"Muscat Grand Mall has always been a canvas for innovation and cultural expression. With ‘Little India’, we are not just creating a retail space—we are creating a bridge between India and the GCC. This is an invitation for Indian brands to be part of a regional success story, backed by strong footfall, premium infrastructure, and a rising consumer base in Oman."
Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Shriram PM Monga, Co-founder of SRED, emphasized the broader impact:
"‘Little India’ is more than a commercial concept—it’s a social ecosystem designed to serve the large Indian community in Oman and the wider Gulf. It’s a unique opportunity for Indian brands to plug into a culturally aligned audience, celebrate India abroad, and grow in a region that values authenticity and diversity."
The "Little India" initiative will serve as a permanent cultural anchor within Muscat Grand Mall, offering Indian brands a tailored platform to connect with both resident and tourist consumers in Oman. Fashion labels, food concepts, home décor brands, and artisanal businesses from India will now have a dedicated space to showcase their offerings to an expanding and receptive market.
SRED’s expertise in regional retail development will assist Indian brands with strategic onboarding through customized leasing programs, cultural programming, and integrated marketing initiatives to ensure their long-term success in the region.
Indian brands interested in exploring retail expansion in the GCC are encouraged to connect with representatives from Muscat Grand Mall and SRED to learn how they can be part of this unique cultural and commercial initiative.
