What Industry Leaders Are Saying
“ Luxury today is no longer just about global names – it’s about local soul, cultural relevance, and unforgettable experience design.

“ As a member of the Luxury Travel & Hospitality Committee, I cherish the invaluable platform it provides, enabling global leaders to come together, spark innovation, and elevate the standards of excellence we offer to the world’s most discerning patrons. ”
Bob Kharazmi, WLCC Board Member , CEO of Global Hotel Advisors
“ Luxury must evolve from indulgence to influence. As water becomes one of the world’s rarest and most valuable resources, the luxury industry has both a responsibility and an opportunity to lead. True excellence in hospitality today means designing experiences that honor our planet as much as they delight our guests. Through the WLCC Luxury Travel & Hospitality Committee, we can amplify sustainability as a pillar of luxury — because without water, there is no life, and without life, there is no luxury. ”
Malek Semar, WLCC Honorary Board Member, Founder of No Water No Us
