Sustainability Innovation
One of my biggest passions is the environment and the health of our world. I believe that by creating minor changes in our day-to-day lifestyle we can achieve a major environmental impact.
More and more hotels around the world start to pursue green initiatives which not only improve their environmental footprint but also more and more guests start to choose to pay more for eco-friendly hotels over any other hotel.
How I do it:
Analyze the property’s location, resources, budget, and unique value proposition
Create and support a hotel green team
Create processes and systems that will save energy, water, and other resources
Help find other alternatives to replace plastic
Create green/ paperless operational processes across hotel departments
Offer green/ sustainable guest amenities
Transform guest rooms to green guest rooms
Create vegan and vegetarian alternatives for guest amenities, guest minibars, and hotel restaurant menus ( if applicable)
Create recycling and re-using processes and campaigns
Offer green hotel events
Help the property work with local and sustainable vendors
Create and manage hotel donation programs ( ex: donating left-over food)
Benefits that you will see are:
Less damage to the environment
Business growth and guest satisfaction
Creation of a positive and innovative guest experience
Reduce costs
Reduce utility consumption
Reduce carbon emissions
Become a hotel innovator and standout from the competition
Stay away from greenwashing
