Providing hotel guests with information about sustainability practices can offer a range of benefits, including:
Improved guest experience: Many are becoming more environmentally conscious and may appreciate hotels prioritizing sustainability. By providing information about sustainability practices, hotels can demonstrate their commitment to protecting the environment, which can enhance the guest experience.
Reduced environmental impact: When guests understand how to conserve resources, such as energy and water, they may be more likely to take steps to reduce their environmental impact during their stay. This can help hotels to reduce their overall environmental footprint.
Cost savings: Sustainability practices, such as energy-efficient lighting and water-saving fixtures, can help hotels to save on their utility bills. When informed about these practices, guests may be more likely to adopt them, which can lead to additional cost savings for the hotel.
Brand differentiation: Hotels that prioritize sustainability and provide information about their practices can differentiate themselves from competitors and attract guests who prioritize environmental responsibility.
Metrics and strategies for implementation:
- # of visual aids in rooms to inform guests about the hotel's sustainability practices. To avoid paper, this could be part of the TV ads.
- Send by email a flyer with small changes they can make at home to replicate some of the sustainability practices in the hotel (the eco-friendly detergent and toiletries we are using, how much water we save by optimizing lining laundry, how we manage wastes, etc...)
