Metaverse in hospitality: distant future or already a competitive advantage?

Sometimes trends benefit everyone, and one of the most important travel trends 2023 is that travellers expect their accommodation to be ‘greener’, and more energy conscious. This fits perfectly with the needs of hotel and property owners, who want to deliver more ecologically sound services, with considerable cost savings.
