In honour of World Earth Day on April 22, 2025, Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts is rolling out a lineup of eco-conscious initiatives aimed at promoting sustainability and guest participation across its properties. With a brand philosophy deeply rooted in nature and community, Stone Wood is inviting both guests and team members to join in meaningful efforts to support the planet.
“At Stone Wood, we believe that hospitality goes beyond comfort—it's also about responsibility,” said Shikhar Kumar, Managing Director of Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts. “This Earth Day, we're creating opportunities for our guests to actively contribute to the planet while enjoying their stay. Whether it’s planting a tree or choosing a sustainable meal, every small action adds up.”
Guests staying at any Stone Wood property during Earth Day will be encouraged to participate in tree planting activities within the hotel grounds. This initiative supports long-term reforestation and lets travelers leave a positive mark on the environment. In addition, the group will activate its “Switch Off for Earth Hour” campaign, inviting guests to turn off lights for one hour—a simple but powerful symbol of energy conservation. Those who take part will be treated to a complimentary meal, reinforcing the brand’s belief in rewarding mindful actions.
To further celebrate Earth Day, Spice Wood Café outlets and Stone Wood’s in-house restaurants will present a curated plant-based menu, showcasing organic, sustainable ingredients in flavourful combinations. The goal is to highlight the harmony between mindful eating and environmental awareness.
Beyond the properties, the group is organizing clean-up drives at nearby beaches and resort surroundings, involving hotel staff, guests, and local volunteers. These collective efforts underscore Stone Wood’s commitment to cleaner, healthier communities and immersive travel experiences that give back.

At its core hospitality is more than service it's about creating moments that last Whether it's a hotel receptionist remembering your name a chef crafting a dish with regional soul or a housekeeper ensuring your room feels like home every interaction is driven by people who care These human touches transform places into memories and transactions into relationships
Despite global challenges and the rise of digital interfaces the industry has shown remarkable resilience and innovation Today hospitality is about balancing technology with empathy Smart rooms contactless check-ins and AI-driven personalization are enhancing guest convenience but what truly elevates the experience is still the passion of the people behind the scenes
From boutique hotels to luxury resorts the focus has shifted to purpose-driven hospitality emphasizing sustainability community engagement and employee well-being Guests today are more conscious and curious they seek not just comfort but connection They want to know the story behind the space the chef behind the plate and the culture behind the smile
Hospitality is ultimately about people It's our teams our culture and our passion that define the guest experience As an industry we must continue to value the human element because no technology can replicate genuine warmth and heartfelt service
Celebrating International Hospitality Day is not just about acknowledging an industry it's about honouring the spirit that drives it It's about the chefs stewards receptionists managers and countless others who make the world a little more welcoming every single day
As we look ahead one thing is clear hospitality will always matter Because in every corner of the world people will always crave connection kindness and the comfort of being cared for and that's something only hospitality can truly deliver
