Next-Gen Navigators: Empowering Youth as Champions of Purposeful Travel

Next-Gen Navigators: Empowering Youth as Champions of Purposeful Travel

Hospitality Net12-05-2025

We live in extraordinary times. Never before has humanity had such seamless access to the world. Today, 80% of global youth (ages 15–24) own a smartphone and are more globally connected than any previous generation. With one click, they can board a virtual flight to another continent – or a real one.
Just a few generations ago, international travel was a privilege for diplomats and the wealthy elite. For many of our parents, a single overseas trip marked a milestone; for our grandparents, it was almost unimaginable. Today, travel is an expectation. We book a flight from Paris to Johannesburg simply because we felt restless on a Friday night. We chase '100 Destinations Before You Die' bucket lists, collect passport stamps like trophies, and share our journeys on social media.
But with great access comes great responsibility. And the time has come to move from passive tourism to purposeful travel.
Why Youth Matter
Globally, young people account for over 23% of all international travellers, and their numbers are only rising. According to the UN Tourism, youth travel generates over $300 billion annually. They're adventurous, tech-savvy, culturally curious - and crucially, more open to values-based travel. This is a powerful force waiting to be activated for good.
If elected Secretary-General, I pledge to centre my strategy on one fundamental belief: Youth are not just tourists; they are stewards, storytellers, and changemakers.
The best place to start this journey is through education.
The Global Youth Tourism Initiative (GYTI)
To bring this belief to life, I propose a Global Youth Tourism Initiative (GYTI) - a flagship platform to educate, engage, empower, and inspire young travellers to become heroes of responsible tourism.
1. Educate
Develop global tourism literacy curricula with other UN agencies like UNESCO and UNEP, integrating modules on travel ethics, climate impact, cultural preservation, and digital storytelling.

2. Engage
Create a UN Youth Tourism Corps : Young ambassadors trained to run workshops, peer-learning circles, and awareness campaigns in their communities.

4. Inspire
Develop a My Travel for Good storytelling platform where young people share journeys that changed them and how they're paying it forward.

Cross-Industry and UN Collaborations
UNICEF's U-Report platform shows the power of youth-led data in shaping policies. We can adapt this model to co-create travel policy feedback loops.
UNESCO's Creative Cities Network and UN Habitat's Urban Youth Fund offer templates on how to localize global youth initiatives with creative and sustainable outcomes.
Partner with the fashion, film, and gaming industries all of which shape youth identity to build campaigns around ethical travel fashion, cinematic cultural storytelling, and travel-based virtual gaming worlds with impact missions.
Strategic Priorities for a Youth-Centred Tourism Future
Build Youth Tourism Leadership
Launch a Global Youth Tourism Leadership Program
Establish Regional Tourism Youth Hubs that integrate local wisdom with global perspective.
Integrate Responsible Travel Education
Embed travel ethics modules in national curricula
Create open-source digital courses on sustainability and cultural diplomacy.
Facilitate Youth Mobility
Advocate for Youth Travel Visas and more equitable visa access for travelers from the Global South.
Scale up youth exchange programs, twinning cities and schools for real cultural immersion.
A Vision of Youth as Heroes of Tomorrow's Tourism
This is not just a policy platform - it is a global movement. A movement to reimagine travel as a force for peace, understanding, and regeneration. A movement where young people don't just explore the world, they heal it, protect it, and tell its stories with heart and honour.
If elected, I commit to making this vision real. Because the future of tourism isn't just about where we go, it's about who we become when we get there.

The Human Element in a Digital Age

Successfully leading in today's hotel industry requires more than a single expertise; it demands a careful blend of deep-seated service passion, operational wisdom, and an innovative spirit that shapes the future of guest experiences. Tradition and innovation constantly intersect. Guest expectations are also rapidly evolving. Hoteliers must navigate this dynamic environment with skill and expertise. Furthermore, they need a deep understanding of service fundamentals. They also require a keen eye for technological advancements. Ander Elortegi's career journey began as a bellboy; now, he serves as the General Manager at the prestigious Hotel Palacio Arriluce. We asked Ander about his approach to technology in luxury hospitality, and his views on sustainability and guest experience are also covered. Ander's journey in Hospitality Your career has evolved from a bellboy at Hôtel Lutetia in Paris to leading top hotels in Spain. What key lessons from your early days in hospitality influence your leadership style today? To this day, being a bellboy remains my favorite role in a hotel, even more so than being a General Manager. It's pure service: spontaneous, versatile, and deeply human. When you're in that position, every guest interaction is an opportunity to be creative, resourceful, and genuinely helpful. I had the privilege of starting my hospitality journey at Hôtel Lutetia in Paris, where I worked alongside an exceptional team of Les Clefs d'Or concierges. Their professionalism and attention to detail made a lasting impression on me. That experience shaped the way I understand hospitality, not as a job, but as an art form. It taught me that, regardless of your title, the essence of this industry lies in making people feel cared for, understood, and at ease. Navigating diverse hotel environments What are the key differences in managing independent boutique hotels versus international brand properties, and how do you adapt your leadership style for each? Managing independent boutique hotels and operating international brands are two entirely different games, each with its own set of challenges and opportunities. In a boutique property, you have more creative freedom. You're building a story from scratch, curating every detail to express a unique identity. It requires agility, instinct, and the ability to make decisions quickly and personally. With an international brand, you benefit from structure, systems, and brand recognition, but it also demands a high level of alignment and consistency. There's a greater focus on standards, reporting, and cross-functional collaboration, often across multiple time zones and departments. Ander Elortegi, General Manager of Hotel Palacio Arriluce, shares his vision for leadership and innovation in luxury hospitality. — Photo by Shiji As a leader, I adapt by shifting gears. In boutique hotels, I lead more intuitively and entrepreneurially. In branded environments, I emphasize effective communication, strategic planning, and efficient processes. But in both cases, what stays constant is my commitment to people, building strong teams, and fostering a culture of service. I didn't want to manage the hotel from behind a desk—I wanted to live it. Anders Elortegui The power of presence At Villa Soro, you introduced the concept of the 'hotel manager without an office'. How does this hands-on approach influence hotel operations and guest satisfaction, and how has it evolved in your career? At Villa Soro, I made a conscious decision to step away from the traditional office setup. I didn't want to manage the hotel from behind a desk. I wanted to live it. Being present in the lobby, the restaurant, and the housekeeping corridors. That's where the real pulse of the hotel is. It gave me immediate insight into what was working, what wasn't, and how guests were truly experiencing the property. This approach built stronger relationships with both the team and our guests. Staff members felt more supported and heard. Guests felt the presence of someone who genuinely cared. Over the years, I've adapted this mindset in every hotel I've led. Even in larger or more structured environments, I try to be visible, accessible, and engaged. Technology helps, of course, I can handle many administrative tasks from my phone. But the core idea remains: the best management happens where the service is delivered. Enhancing efficiency and elevating guest focus Can you share some examples of how you've integrated technology into hotel operations, whether at Radisson Collection Bilbao, Hotel Tayko Bilbao, or Palacio Arriluce? In my experience, the most valuable technologies are those that make our teams more efficient, allowing them to focus entirely on the guest. Most hotels with a certain level of ambition now use similar systems, including PMS, CRM, mobile check-in, messaging platforms, and energy management tools. The difference lies in how you implement them and what you free up as a result. For me, the goal is clear: automate everything that doesn't require a human touch. Eliminate unnecessary admin, and give our teams the time, clarity, and energy to serve guests with genuine attention and care. When technology fades into the background and the staff can greet each guest with a smile and full presence, that's when it's truly working. Sustainability by design The Radisson Collection Hotel in Bilbao earned the highest LEED Platinum certification score worldwide for hotels. What role did technology play in this achievement, and how do you see tech shaping sustainability in hospitality moving forward? Sustainability is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity. At Radisson Collection Bilbao, technology played a central role in achieving the highest LEED Platinum score ever awarded. From the design phase, we integrated intelligent energy systems, water-saving solutions, and real-time consumption monitoring. Every material, every system, every supplier was chosen with sustainability in mind, and tech was the thread that connected it all. Looking ahead, I believe technology will continue to be the driving force behind sustainable hospitality. It allows us to measure, adapt, and improve continuously. But more importantly, it helps us make sustainability visible to guests, who are increasingly mindful of their impact. It's not just about certifications, it's about being transparent, responsible, and future-ready. The art of the launch What are the key elements for a successful hotel opening, and how can a property ensure a strong market entry? How has technology facilitated smooth launches and efficient operations from the outset? Opening a hotel is like conducting an orchestra; timing, coordination, and harmony are everything. The critical elements? Building the right team early on, aligning every department with the vision, and obsessing over the guest journey before the doors even open. Technology plays a key supporting role. From pre-opening project management tools to digital SOPs, task tracking, and team communication platforms, it helps us streamline workflows and avoid costly last-minute surprises. It allows us to train better, test systems, and simulate real scenarios ahead of time. But more than tools, it's about mindset. A strong launch occurs when every team member feels a sense of ownership. When systems support, rather than replace, the human touch, and when technology helps us focus on what matters. Creating unforgettable first impressions. The best technology is invisible—it empowers the experience without ever stealing the spotlight. Anders Elortegui The human-digital dance How do you balance high-touch service with the growing trend of automation and digitalisation in hotels? Luxury hospitality, above all, is about feeling genuinely cared for. That will never change. What has changed is how we get there. Automation and digitalisation help us remove friction, gain efficiency, and anticipate needs, but they should never replace empathy or intuition. The key is to use technology to enhance, not interrupt, the guest experience. If a guest prefers to check in via mobile, great. If another wants a personal welcome and conversation at the front desk, that should be equally possible. Flexibility is the new luxury. Behind the scenes, automation frees up our teams. It reduces repetitive tasks, giving them time and clarity to focus on what matters most. Making each guest feel special, seen, and at home. Gastronomy as a cornerstone How do you see the integration of exceptional dining experiences contributing to a hotel's overall success, and what strategic role does F&B play in differentiating a property in a competitive market? High-end gastronomy is not just a service, it's a narrative tool. It tells guests who you are as a hotel, what you value, and how deeply you're connected to your region and culture. A great dining experience can be the reason someone chooses your property or why they return. In my experience, integrating exceptional F&B elevates the entire hotel. It attracts a diverse clientele, drives local engagement, and generates powerful word-of-mouth. At Tayko, working with a Michelin-starred team gave us instant credibility and distinction. At Palacio Arriluce, we're crafting a culinary experience that aligns with our identity. Elegant, authentic, and deeply rooted in the Basque spirit. Strategically, F&B is one of the strongest differentiators in a crowded market. It's where luxury becomes tangible, on the plate, in the service, and in the memory it leaves behind. Beyond green labels Beyond green certifications, how do you integrate sustainability into everyday hotel operations and the guest experience? Sustainability should not be a checkbox, it has to be a mindset embedded in daily decisions, across all departments. Certifications are important, of course, but they're just the beginning. What really matters is how sustainability is lived and felt by the team and by the guest. In our operations, we look for long-term efficiency. Sourcing locally, minimizing food waste, reducing single-use plastics, using energy-efficient systems, and choosing partners who share our values. But beyond the technical side, we focus on making it visible and meaningful for guests, without being preachy. It's about small, thoughtful touches. Informing guests where their breakfast ingredients come from, offering refillable amenities in elegant packaging, or designing menus around seasonal produce. Sustainability should feel like a natural part of the experience, effortless, elegant, and aligned with modern expectations. Anticipating tomorrow's guest Guest expectations are evolving, particularly due to the impact of digital and mobile technology. How do you ensure your hotels remain at the forefront of delivering exceptional guest experiences? Today's guests, especially those in the luxury segment, expect both efficiency and emotion. They want things to work seamlessly, but also to feel special. That's where digital tools come in: to simplify the journey without making it feel robotic. We ensure we stay ahead by constantly listening to our guests, our teams, and the market. We pay close attention to feedback, embrace smart solutions that improve communication and anticipation, and avoid tech for tech's sake. The goal is always to make the guest feel in control and cared for. Whether it's through a mobile app for requests, pre-arrival personalization, or post-stay follow-ups. We use digital touchpoints to reinforce the human connection, not replace it. The best technology is invisible, it empowers the experience without ever stealing the spotlight. Weaving local culture into the hotel fabric How can hotels showcase local culture in their brand experience, and what strategies are effective in aligning a hotel's identity with its destination? To me, a hotel should never feel like it could exist anywhere else. It should be unmistakably rooted in its surroundings. Integrating local culture is not just about decoration or souvenirs; it's about mindset, storytelling, and emotion. The most successful strategies I've seen are those that go beyond the surface level. We work with local artisans, chefs, and suppliers not just because it's 'on trend,' but because it creates a genuine connection with the place. We train our teams to become cultural ambassadors, sharing not only recommendations but personal stories and context. At Palacio Arriluce, our goal is to reflect the elegance, strength, and soul of the Basque Country. Whether it's through architecture, cuisine, language, or service style, we aim to make every guest feel the depth of the destination, not just see it. Adapting in a changing industry What key lessons have you learned about leadership and adapting to change? How do you see technology shaping the next generation of hotel management? If there's one lesson I keep learning, it's that leadership is about presence, consistency, and trust. No two teams are the same, no two hotels behave the same way, so adaptability is essential. However, your values must be non-negotiable: respect, transparency, and a deep commitment to service. Change is constant in this industry. Whether it's market shifts, guest behavior, or new tools, the best leaders stay curious and calm. I try to lead by listening, sharing, and empowering others, creating environments where people can grow, challenge ideas, and take ownership. Technology will shape the future, yes, but not by replacing leaders. It will enhance our decision-making, streamline our operations, and give us new ways to understand our guests. But at the heart of great hotel management, there will always be emotional intelligence, empathy, and the ability to bring people together. Timeless, tech-enhanced luxury What is your vision for Palacio Arriluce over the next 5-10 years? How will technology, guest expectations, and market trends shape this vision? My vision for Palacio Arriluce is to establish it as the reference for discreet luxury in the Basque Country. A place where elegance, warmth, and excellence are lived every day. We want guests to feel that sense of being truly looked after, from leisure travellers discovering the region to business guests seeking calm and refinement. Over the next 5–10 years, guest expectations will continually evolve, with an increased focus on personalization, flexibility, and sustainability awareness. Technology will help us meet those needs, but never at the cost of authenticity. The challenge, and the opportunity, is to evolve while staying true to our soul. We're building a hotel with timeless appeal, supported by smart, sustainable operations and a team that genuinely cares. If we do that right, Palacio Arriluce will not only be a beautiful place to stay, but it will also be a meaningful experience that guests carry with them long after they leave. The enduring essence of hospitality Ander's career underscores a vital truth. Technology is a powerful enabler. Yet, the human element remains the heart of true luxury. The emphasis he places on a leader's presence is crucial. Equally inspiring is his commitment to empowering teams. Above all, his dedication to crafting authentic guest experiences is paramount. These principles provide a timeless roadmap. They guide hoteliers as they seek to navigate the future. This future will feature more advanced technology. However, success will hinge on fostering genuine connections. It will depend on delivering service with empathy and care. Ultimately, this balance defines the pinnacle of the art of hospitality.
