"The HPI was carefully curated. In assembling 2021's lists, we took a dispassionate approach, ignoring all noise and social media chatter to arrive at lists that truly reflect the ambitions of the HPI," states Dr. Jeffrey Obomeghie, renowned hospitality educator and president of the International Hospitality Institute, who is known professionally as Dr. Jeffrey O. "The lists cover various sectors of the hospitality industry including hotels, restaurants, hospitality education, travel/hospitality writing, hospitality digital content, hospitality analytics, peer-to-peer lodging, senior living, as well as the airline and cruise ship industries. The lists are in alphabetical order; there is no ranking involved."
According to a policy brief from the United Nations, COVID-19 is projected to cost the worldwide tourism industry $1 trillion in losses and put more than 100 million jobs worldwide at risk. "The hospitality industry has faced dark days. There is no better time than now to recognize the efforts of the men and women who are working tirelessly to keep the torch of hospitality burning," says Dr. Obomeghie.
