Strategic Alliances
Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality has formed a variety of strategic alliances over the years to make sure that it continues to remain on the cutting edge of hospitality, business and sustainable tourism trends. Below you will find links and references to our valued partners.
The Hotel School at Cornell University

Since both founders and owners of Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality are graduates of the Hotel School at Cornell University, a very strong bond between Cayuga and the Hotel School has formed over the years. In fact, members of Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality currently serve as officers in the Cornell Hotel Society, one of the most active alumni networks in the world. President Hans Pfister has been invited to serve as guest speaker at Cornell University to share his unique experiences in incorporating sustainability into his business model. Additionally, a number of case studies, as well an initiative to create an Executive Education program focused on sustainable tourism initiatives, are currently in the development stages. Cayuga regularly recruits interns and graduates from the Hotel School.
INCAE Business School

INCAE Business School, located just outside San Jose, Costa Rica, is considered to be Latin America’s premier business schools. In an effort to create a strong strategic alliance between Cayuga and INCAE, members of Cayuga have served as guest speakers for MBA classes and forums, while INCAE students have conducted research (including a study that investigated financial leakage and drop to the local communities in which Cayuga operates) and held internship opportunities with Cayuga.
Other Partners in Education:

The institute works under the premise that the best way to conserve biodiversity is to study it, value it, and utilize the opportunities it offers to improve the quality of life of human beings.” Cayuga has worked with INBio on a number of projects, specifically those related to scientific research and development in and around our properties.
