ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMME

Tourists and business travelers are increasingly focused on finding sustainable options when choosing to stay in a hotel or other accommodation. For this reason, accommodations must create a sustainability plan that helps them to attract more travelers and simultaneously show their commitment to society and the environment. Hotels that do not commit to and implement sustainable strategies will be subject to uncertainty and instability as traveler demands continue to shift. Additionally, with the changing climate and increasing natural disaster events, a company that doesn’t take the steps to become more sustainable is forced to improvise in the face of climate impacts with unpredictable results.

Creating and implementing a sustainability plan will help accommodations meet growing market demand, retain travelers who are increasingly aware of the need to preserve the environment, communicate social and environmental responsibility to the world, save money, and increase their resilience in the face of growing climate uncertainty.
