Pursuing Sustainability
PHILHOST 2025 Leads the Way for the Future of Philippine Hospitality
This May 22, 2025, the heart of Taguig City will beat a little greener as PHILHOST 2025 takes center stage at The Ascott BGC. Now proudly in its fourth year, the Philippine Hospitality on Sustainable Tourism (PHILHOST) event continues to shape the future of the country's hospitality industry, offering a dynamic platform for collaboration, innovation, and real-world solutions for a more sustainable tomorrow.
With the powerful theme, "Pursuing Sustainability," PHILHOST 2025 promises a day of enriching conversations, workshops, and best-practice showcases designed to inspire and ignite action. Over 200 hotel owners, developers, operators, and regional experts from both the public and private sectors are expected to come together in this one-of-a-kind gathering — the only event in the Philippines that harmonizes global insights with local expertise for a sustainable hospitality future.
Attendees can look forward to a robust program featuring short expert panels, hands-on workshops, solution spotlights, and presentations on pivotal topics, including:
Green Building Design and Architecture: Innovating structures that harmonize with nature.
Circular Economy: Rethinking resources to minimize waste and maximize value.
Renewable Energy: Powering hospitality sustainably and efficiently.
Food and Waste Management: Turning waste into wealth with smart practices.
Green Hotel Certifications: Raising the bar for eco-friendly hospitality.
Adaptive Re-use: Breathing new life into old spaces, preserving heritage while saving resources.
More than a conference, PHILHOST 2025 is a movement. It recognizes that true change must involve the youth, and once again, the much-anticipated ENVision Case Competition returns for its third year. With a focus on Circular Economy, ENVision challenges high school and college students nationwide to creatively address real-world issues like climate change and food waste management. Having attracted over 100 participants in past years, ENVision continues to nurture the next generation of sustainability champions, ensuring that the momentum for a greener tourism and hospitality industry carries well into the future.
As the hospitality sector faces mounting pressure to balance growth with environmental responsibility, PHILHOST 2025 stands as a beacon of possibility — a convergence of ideas, innovation, and inspiration. It is not just about learning; it’s about leading, transforming, and building a hospitality industry that thrives with the planet, not at its expense.
Join the movement. PHILHOST 2025 is where sustainability meets opportunity, and where today’s conversations become tomorrow’s solutions.
