Sustainable hotels are a new trend with the premise of reducing the carbon footprint of hotels, preserving the environment and optimising natural resources, in addition to promoting an economy that is much more sustainable over time and more locally-orientated. In this post, you'll discover what sustainable hotels are and what the trends are.
What is sustainable tourism?
Close collaboration to improve the economy and the environment. Sustainable hotels are a new trend that has arrived to raise the bar for the traditional hotel industry. The concept of sustainable hotels or sustainable hospitality was born out of the premise of reducing the carbon footprint of hotels, promoting the optimisation of natural resources and preserving the ecosystem. The hotel industry implements these strategies in its products and services for its management and organisation, respecting its environment, the economy and resources without compromising on quality.
What are the trends in sustainable hotels?
- Use of renewable energy: Sustainable hotels opt for renewable energy sources like solar or wind power to run their air conditioning and lighting systems and other aspects of their facilities. This includes the transition from traditional lighting to LED technology.
- Optimisation of water: Efficient management of water is essential, with water treatment and recycling systems that allow its reuse. Smart sprinkler systems are also installed for gardens and awareness is promoted amongst guests to use water responsibly.
- Promotion of recycling and reuse: The implementation of recycling systems is common, as is the repairing of electronic devices and the use of organic waste to produce fertiliser.
- Use of sustainable materials: Sustainable hotels use ecological furniture, with ecological tables and chairs made from recycled or biodegradable materials. They also use single-dose dispensers for hygiene products and biodegradable cleaning products to reduce contamination.
- Sustainable construction: The choice of sustainable materials such as cork or wood, together with the use of biodegradable paint, is reflected in the structures and decoration of the hotels.
