food
In Europe, 180 kg of
food is wasted per person
per year
American and European food waste could
feed the 3rd world
Every year 20 million tons of fish is thrown backinto the sea
Global population growth projections of 2–3 billion
people over the next 40 years, combined with changing diets, result in a predicted
increase in food demand of 70% by 2050
Water
In 2013, 36% of the global population
lives in water-scarce regions. If we
do nothing, this will increase
to 50% by 2050
An average of 1,000 m3 of
water is needed to produce the 2,800 daily calories
required for a nourished diet
780 million people do not have
access to clean water and almost 2.5 billion do not
have access to adequate
sanitation
Global water demand will increase by some
55%, due to growing demand
from manufacturing (+400%), thermal power
plants (+140%) and domestic use (+130%)
PoWer
By 2050, we could get all the energy we need
from renewable sources
More than half of the heat we pump
into our homes disappears
through walls, windows and roofs
1.4 billion people have no
access to reliable electricity
If 0.3% of the Sahara desert
was a concentrated solar plant, it would power all of Europe
The global cost of lighting is $230 billion
per year
Pollution
A city affects a large area outside its
own boundaries. London alone will need an area of
almost 300 times its size to satisfy its demands and to dispose its waste and emissions
Air pollutants can travel thousands of kilometres by air. In many cities, only a part of local air
pollution is generated by the city itself
Rich countries will suffer worse
effects from exposure to
ground-level ozone, because of their
ageing populations – older people are more
susceptible
Urban air pollution is set to become the top environmental cause
of mortality worldwide by 2050, ahead of dirty water and lack of sanitation
CHanging markets
The retail industry is focusing
more and more on hospitality. Is this blurring
a threat to traditional hospitality?
Consumer to consumer initiatives
like Air B&B and Couchsurfing are upcoming
alternatives to hotel accommodation.
Couchsurfing has 1,2 million beds
on offer, all over the world
Whatever happens in the following years, 50% of our customers will be
online. New strategies for E- and M-Commerce
need to be developed
In response to the technologization of
society, there is a growing need for authenticity;
in product, in concept, in perception

eduCationLaying the foundation Creating awareness
Our society is ageing. Customer needs
are changing, as we are growing older
Obesity is a major risk factor for a
number of chronic diseases;
diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer
More than 1.4 billion adults
are overweight. Of these, over 200
million men and nearly 300 million
women are obese
People are becoming more and more
conscious about their options and
choices regarding a healthy lifestyle. The hospitality
industry also has a responsibility in this matter
Currently the Health Care Industry is not known
for being very
hospitable
