who we are

The Responsible Hospitality Partnership was established in 2011 from three other entities. Those are the Responsible Tourism and Hospitality Consultancy Ltd, the Centre for Environmental Studies in the Hospitality Industry (formed in 1998, and based in the Oxford Brookes University Business School, Department of Hospitality, Leisure and Tourism Management) and a private company, CESHI Ltd (established in 2005).
 

Dr Rebecca Hawkins Rebecca has become widely acknowledged in the hospitality sector as one of the leading thinkers in this field. As well as writing much of the practical guidance that has been produced for this sector, she has written extensively for the trade press. She is a judge for high profile Tourism Awards. Rebecca will shortly publish a book which will become the key text on responsible business in the hospitality sector, what it means and which companies are making the most progress.
