The Hotel Sustainability Action Plan was crafted specifically with independent and boutique hotels in mind. As seasoned hotel consultants, we know better than anyone that independent and boutique hotels have limited time, budget and resources compared to bigger hotels and hotel chains.
Therefore, the Hotel Sustainability Action Plan really focuses on everything boutique hoteliers need to make sustainability happen, with practical steps that are both realistic and budget-conscious, without being too time-consuming.
Yes! The Hotel Sustainability Action Plan is perfect for hoteliers who already have a hotel and are looking to make it more sustainable. We present loads of sustainable activities you can implement in your existing operations to increase your hotel’s impact #stepbystep.
All recommendations and action steps presented in the Hotel Sustainability Action Plan apply to new hotels, too – not just existing ones. We even guide you in how to build sustainability into the hotel development process from the very start – from site selection and planning to construction and interior design.
We say: absolutely! This guide is jam-packed with added value for boutique hoteliers looking to create sustainable hotels. Plus, with all the sustainability recommendations outlined in the Hotel Sustainability Action Plan, you will attract more guests and realise important cost savings and efficiency gains. So it will pay off – in the truest sense of the word!
