HOSPITALITY 3.0 FRAMEWORK

The Hospitality 3.0 framework emphasizes the balance between technological advancement and nurturing environments that foster community, belonging, and growth, to address contemporary challenges such as ecological, societal, and cultural crises stemming from the rapid adoption of new technologies. This exploration is anchored in four foundational pillars: universality, sustainability, fluidity, and kineticism.

THE PRAYER FLAG PROJECT

The META Foundation, in collaboration with VAST Bhutan and the Rubin Museum of Art in New York City, produced 1080 unique virtual artifacts designed from original assets by Asha Kama, a leading Bhutanese artist. Sales were used to support local educational programs, and the cleaning of the mountains in Bhutan.

"As a country that has always had a sustainable approach to tourism, Bhutan offers a unique case study for pioneering a purpose-driven prototype for virtual travel. This project explores how virtual experiences can connect visitors to real communities to support and fuel local economies, while fulfilling and inspiring travel dreams from afar."
