Biophilia Summit 2026. Biophilia in Practice: Sensing, Belonging, Regenerating.

Luca Caruso is now presenting HORTEL, a Regenerative, Biophilic Business Model for Hospitality. Hortel — "horticultural" plus "hotel" — a turnkey service to convert underused hotel green space into productive, biophilic, regenerative gardens.

A few words from the presentation.

Sustainable, in most hotels, means doing less damage. Subtraction. Regenerative means addition.
Hortel created more life through organic cultivation and the events around it.

It healed the hotel's future by turning it into a local hub other businesses wanted to be near.

It enhanced the wellbeing of guests and staff simply by giving them a living space to be in.

And it served something we don't put in a Profit and loss balance sheet, but every guest feels anyway: our very human need to be near living things.

Hortel promotes a contemporary interpretation of the ancient greek concept of "hospes", with Mother Nature considered as the xenos bestowing a thriving and sustainable future for humanity.

Thanks Points by Sheraton Catania Hotel & Conference Center for sharing this vision.

ReGeneration 🇮🇹🇬🇧

Recentemente Sicilia e Malta sono finite sotto l'occhio del ciclone.

Tempeste di tropicali unite all'incuria e al totale disinteresse per una pianificazione urbanistica attenta ai rischi idrogeologici a fatto si che note località turistiche e la città di Niscemi adesso piangsno danni ingenti.

Il nostro "ego" - tentativo (invano) di piegare la natura al nostro volere - deve abbracciare il concetto "eco": l'uomo come essere parte del tutto.

Lo possiamo fare a tutti I livelli e in particolare negli hotel che possono diventare degli Hub di sostenibilità.

Il tema Regenerative sustainability è un trend topic, ma è ancora più interessante scoprire che è davvero centrale.

Dateci una lettura - link al primo commento.

Sicily and Malta have recently been through the storm.

As a result of this clash with years of urban neglec, the lack of planning to attenuate hydrogeological risks means that beloved tourist spots and the city of Niscemi are now mourning significant damages.

We need a mindset change. We need to move from EGO to ECO.

We must stop trying to force nature to our will - EGO - and start realizing we are just one part of the ecosystem- ECO.

This can be done at any level and - for example - hotels can lead this change by transforming themselves into Hubs of Sustainability.

It seems the world is finally ready to talk about Regenerative Sustainability—not just as a buzzword, but as a necessity.
