World Tourism Day 2025: Tourism and Sustainable Transformation-Mayfair Spring Valley Resort, Guwahati

"Travel today is no longer just about where people go. It is about how they engage with the places they visit and the impact they leave behind. At Mayfair Spring Valley Resort, we see this as an opportunity to redefine hospitality in a way that reflects the theme of this year’s World Tourism Day: Tourism and Sustainable Transformation.

Sustainability is not something we treat as an added feature. It is built into the way we operate every day. We focus on energy-efficient infrastructure, renewable energy use, water conservation, and sourcing produce locally. These choices help reduce our environmental impact while offering guests a more genuine connection to the region. When guests enjoy food grown nearby or spend time in nature guided by local knowledge, the experience becomes much more personal and meaningful.

We find that travellers today are increasingly looking for more intentional and rooted experiences. Whether it is a wellness retreat, a cultural exchange, or a simple nature walk, they want each part of their stay to carry purpose and depth.

Sustainable travel is not just the right thing to do. It is essential to create the kind of meaningful, lasting experiences that people remember long after their journey ends", says Pardeep Kumar Siwach, DGM- Accommodation at Mayfair Spring Valley Resort, Guwahati.
