In this episode of the WYSE Ask Us Anything podcast we hear from Catherine Gilvarry, Head of Supply at Hostelworld, an OTA specialised in serving the hostel market.
As a member of Hostelworld’s ESG Steering Committee, Catherine discusses Hostelworld’s new “Stairway to Sustainability” programme, a framework for hostels to assess and communicate their sustainability initiatives. You’ll also hear about some of the social travel trends that Hostelworld is focussed on as the global hostel market continues to stabilise post-COVID-19. I also ask about media attention for the group’s 2023 year-end results and CEO Gary Morrison’s interest in addressing “loneliness” through travel, and of course, hostels. Have a listen.
