I'm on a mission to help hospitality and tourism businesses progress with purpose. I work with investors, developers, operators and policy-makers to regenerate long-term value by repositioning real estate, hospitality and tourism assets. Currently advising public (government) and private sector tourism stakeholders in Asia, Africa and North America. I founded RETRACE Hospitality in 2020. RETRACE™ Hospitality offers tailored solutions to impact-driven hospitality and real estate investors, developers and operators. Specialised in hospitality developments that prioritise responsible stewardship and circular or regenerative practices.
I have contributed to hospitality and travel industry publications including the Routledge, Taylor & Francis "Critical Questions in Sustainability and Hospitality" textbook (Legrand, Kuokkanen, Day - 2023), and engage as an Expert on the Hospitality Net World Panel on Sustainability. I've presented as a guest speaker at MIPIM - the World's Leading Real Estate Market Event (Cannes, France), ITB - the World's Largest Travel Market (Berlin, Germany), Young Hoteliers Summit (Lausanne, Switzerland), FurtherEast Luxury Travel Gathering (Bali, Indonesia), The Low Season Traveller Podcast (UK), The Climate Friendly Travel Podcast (Malta), The Sustainable Hospitality Podcast (USA) and to a variety of audiences in Sri Lanka.
