Hotelies for change

Question

Dear Josh,

It was great meeting you today and hearing you talk about the
non-soul-sucking jobs out there for Hotelies!

I want to experience many aspects of the hospitality industry and
"open my eyes" to what's really happening in the world outside of the
hospitalty industry in America. In my future career, I see myself
making a greater impact on people than just having them enjoy their
stay in a hotel for a night or two, but I want to make changes in the
industry to help people in other places of the world.

I'm more interested in the tourism sustainability aspect of the
hospitality industry. After listening to you speak about these issues
today, your talk has motivated me to look into this subject by looking
for some internship/work opportunities.
