The Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management at Saegis Campus organized a workshop on “Sustainability Practices in Hotel Operations.” The theme was “Building Responsible Hospitality for a Greener Tomorrow.” The event took place on 17 February 2026 at the 8th Floor Auditorium. The Tourism Club of Saegis Campus organized the program. The aim was to improve students’ understanding of sustainability in the hotel industry.

Mr. Pasindu Weerasinghe, Sustainability Executive at Sofia Colombo City Hotel, conducted the session. He shared practical knowledge about how hotels use sustainable practices in daily operations. He used real examples and case studies to share his expertise. Students learned about environmental care, saving resources, waste management, energy saving, and community involvement. These help hotels protect the environment while still giving good service to guests.

The workshop helped students connect classroom learning with real industry practice. They discussed current trends in sustainability and green practices used by leading hotels. They also learned how hotels reduce environmental damage through better operations. The discussions encouraged students to think about the future of the hospitality industry and the need for responsible practices.

Sustainability is becoming very important in tourism and hospitality. This workshop showed Saegis Campus’s commitment to industry-focused education. It also helped prepare students to become responsible professionals who support a greener and more sustainable future in hospitality.
