This shift has prompted a significant focus on local and organic sourcing, as well as the adoption of energy-efficient operations. Hospitality consultants are at the forefront, not only helping businesses align with these evolving consumer expectations but also establishing them as leaders in ethical hospitality practices. Modern consultancy services are expanding their expertise to include sustainable sourcing, waste reduction strategies, and guidance on obtaining green certifications, ensuring businesses remain competitive in a market increasingly driven by sustainability.Concurrently, the rise of environmental awareness and veganism are shaping the culinary landscape.
