Why Hospitality Matters to Community Recovery - Gregory Day, Malibu Beach Inn

In this episode, Gregory Day, President of Hospitality for Mani Brothers Real Estate Group and Managing Director of the Malibu Beach Inn, shares how hospitality can play a powerful role in rebuilding a community after crisis.

Following two devastating wildfires and months of road closures that cut local business revenue by up to 90%, Gregory has become a leading advocate for why hospitality matters — not only for travelers, but for the people and small businesses who depend on it. He discusses Malibu’s path to recovery, the importance of local collaboration, and how hotels can help re-energize entire communities through connection, care, and leadership.

This episode offers a hopeful look at how hospitality leaders can help communities recover — and thrive — in the face of disruption.
