Pioneering new hospitality practices through research & innovation to create a more hospitable, inclusive, resilient world.
The META Foundation addresses environmental, social and cultural challenges through a comprehensive approach to hospitality and technology. Through a range of initiatives, we promote the principles of Hospitality 3.0 in diverse sectors such as travel, education, entertainment, wellness, the workplace, and retail.
Our mission revolves around three key verticals:
-
The META Foundation leads groundbreaking research and develops innovative frameworks that address global challenges through hospitality. This involves collaborating with academic institutions, industry experts, and technological innovators to explore new practices, inclusivity measures, and culturally sensitive approaches. By advancing knowledge and fostering innovation, the Foundation aims to create practical tools and methodologies that can be adopted globally, setting new standards for a more hospitable and resilient world.
-
The META Foundation is committed to designing and implementing pilot projects that demonstrate the transformative potential of holistic hospitality approaches leveraging emerging technologies. These projects span various sectors, including future of tourism, community-based initiatives, and eco-friendly infrastructure developments. By showcasing real-world applications, the Foundation aims to provide tangible examples of how integrated hospitality practices can effectively address ecological challenges, promote social equity, and preserve cultural heritage, inspiring broader adoption and adaptation of these practices.
-
The META Foundation is dedicated to delivering comprehensive and immersive learning experiences that embed regenerative, inclusive, and culturally respectful hospitality practices. Through a range of programs, including seminars, hands-on workshops, and online courses, the Foundation equips individuals, businesses, and community leaders with the essential knowledge and skills needed to drive meaningful change in their respective fields. These educational initiatives foster a new generation of hospitality professionals committed to advancing holistic and responsible hospitality practices.
