In 2022, I took a trip to a culturally rich country but I was disappointed. 





After settling into my accommodation, I was excited to explore everything it had to offer then I realized something was missing. 



It wasn't that the destination lacked charm or adventure; rather, it was the absence of engagement from my hosts. 


Disappointed, I spent most of the days feeling lost and unfulfilled.  


At that moment, I realized that if I were to host travelers, it would not merely be about providing them with just comfortable STAY options. 

But also curated experiences and a chance to BELONG to a local community.


And so Noxi was born - out of my travel disappointment.  


Here’s what I believe about a travel experience 👇

It should be holistic and transformative, not just a tick off a bucket list.

Do you feel the same way?

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” - Helen Keller.


Partnerships are crucial for sustainable tourism. 

When communities, businesses, and governments unite, we promote successful and sustainable tourism practices. 

My role is to cultivate this collaboration. 

Let's all contribute to a tourism model that benefits all. 

Together, we can accomplish great things.

Chief Executive Officer @ Noxi | Sustainable Tourism Development | Partnership & Social Impact Advocate

Exactly 8 months ago, I aligned my work with the United Nations SDGs. Here’s my journey so far:



> Experienced a significant boost in credibility
> Fostered new, impact-driven collaborations 
> Strengthened my professional network
> Felt deeply inspired by the results and impact

The biggest win? 

Aligning my passion for tourism and hospitality with a global positive change movement. 

I am sure I am missing a few things, but these are my key highlights.  

This journey is both a professional and personal accomplishment.

I can't wait to see what's next.


--------------------------------------
Hello, I'm Yvonne Joseph 💚

My work involves partnering with businesses, communities, and governments to forge robust and impactful alliances that champion sustainable tourism strategies in alignment with UN SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

The #1 thing that stood out for me this week...



I spent three hours virtually attending the High-Level Thematic Event on Tourism during #UNGASustainabilityWeek, a significant event for our industry's sustainability discussions.
 
Two focus areas:
1. Tourism sustainability mapping.
2. Resilient strategies for global sustainability.

But here's what stood out for me the most - The power of DATA.

Yes, and Data isn't just numbers. 

It's patterns and trends- that can help us make informed decisions.

We need it now more than ever to manage and recover from disruptions.

Data will be critical in strategizing for sustainable growth amidst uncertainties in the coming months and years.

Our age-old adage has never been truer: 

You absolutely cannot manage what you cannot measure. 

Kudos to the Office of the President of the General Assembly, United Nations and the amazing speakers, my industry mom Aradhana Khowala , and ministers Edmund Bartlett , jordi torres falco for such sound presentations. 

Now, I've got work to do. 

Live Sustainably, 

💚 Yvonne

Booking.com's sustainability badges are gone. Is this a good move or a step back? Here's what I think: 




Many are debating Booking.com's shift to third-party sustainability certifications.

Some believe it's a step back, but others see it as a stride towards stronger standards.

Here's what I think:

- The usage of third-party certifications can boost standardization into sustainability 

- This move will provide travelers with the clarity they need to make informed decisions.

On the flip side, this change may leave some travelers confused about a hotel's true sustainable efforts.


The Way Forward:

For Hoteliers:
- Pursue third-party certifications to affirm your commitment.
- Highlight your sustainability practices on Booking.com.


For Travelers:
- Choose hotels with recognized certifications.
-  Feel free to ask directly about a hotel's sustainability actions.

In the end, The future of sustainable travel relies on transparency and clear communication.

What do you think of Booking.com's new strategy?
