Food Waste on Holiday – How can we reduce what ends up in the bin?
Where does the most food waste actually occur at a hotel buffet? What happens to the leftovers – and how is TUI managing to throw away less food?

She visits TUI Blue Adriatic Beach in Croatia, where artificial intelligence is used to analyse and reduce buffet waste.

Jobs, Opportunities or Overtourism - What’s Tourism’s Real Impact on Destinations?
Tourism creates jobs and drives economic growth – but in some places, it also leads to overcrowded beaches, rising rents, and even protests. In this episode of We’re on it, right?, host Rebecca talks to Alexander Panczuk, Group Director Policy at TUI, about the tension between holiday joy and social responsibility.
Together, they take a closer look at Mallorca, where around 14 million tourists visited last year – on an island with fewer than a million residents. They discuss local challenges such as housing shortages and noise pollution, as well as the potential of a more managed tourism model focused on hotels rather than short-term rentals.
Later, Rebecca travels to the Cape Verdean island of Sal to meet Elvis Marques – the country’s first local Assistant Manager of its largest hotel – and learns how tourism can also bring real positive change. On Sal, it is clear how tourism can drive development through education, jobs, and infrastructure.
An episode about criticism, opportunities – and the question of how we can travel responsibly.

From Farm to Fork – Where does the food on the hotel buffet come from?
How can agriculture thrive in places with drought, sandy soil, and limited resources? In this episode of “We’re on it, right?”, podcast host Rebecca travels to Crete and Cape Verde to explore how local food production can be strengthened in popular holiday destinations.
She meets Nikiforos Steiakakis, an agricultural pioneer in Crete, who grows vegetables for local hotels using regenerative methods as part of the TUI Field to Fork programme. On the island of Sal in Cape Verde, farmer and agronomist Susana shows her how she’s growing lettuce, courgettes and papayas with hydroponics – even in extreme dryness.
What’s the true value of local produce on our plates? Can cutting CO₂ emissions, improving supply chains, and boosting food sovereignty go hand in hand? And what does that mean for the food on your hotel buffet?
An episode about clever solutions for tough soil, short routes to fresh food – and the big question of what good food on holiday really means.
