        abstract = {The hospitality industry is poised for a transformational shift toward sustainability, resilience, and regenerative practices. This chapter explores emerging trends, technologies, and strategic frameworks that guide hotels and catering operations toward 2030 and beyond. Key areas include regenerative design, circular economy principles, smart technologies, renewable energy adoption, climate-resilient infrastructure, and stakeholder collaboration. By synthesizing recent research, industry case studies, and policy developments, the chapter identifies opportunities for innovation, risk mitigation, and value creation. It also examines guest expectations, workforce readiness, and financial implications, emphasizing the integration of sustainability, service excellence, and operational resilience. The proposed roadmap highlights actionable strategies for hospitality managers to transition from traditional sustainability toward regenerative models that restore ecosystems, enhance social well-being, and ensure long-term profitability. Findings underscore that digital transformation, technological innovation, and adaptive management are central to achieving a resilient and future-ready hospitality sector. The chapter concludes with recommendations for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to align service operations with global sustainability goals and emerging environmental challenges},
