Travel is a strong factor contributing to the climate emergency. Approximately 8% of the carbon emissions in the world are caused by tourism. The carbon footprint of tourism is impacted by a variety of activities, such as boat trips, airline flights, souvenir purchases, and housing.
According to Sustainable Travel International, the majority of this footprint is emitted by visitors from high-income countries, with U.S. travelers at the top of the list. As the number of people who can afford to travel grows, so will tourism’s environmental footprint.
A hotel that works with integrity, that significantly reduces its environmental impact through green best practices in maintenance, services, logistics, products, and supplies. The core elements revolve around reducing waste, saving energy, and cutting down on water usage.
In addition to protecting, preserving, and conserving the environment and the cultural heritage.
The goal is to become net-zero or climate positive. Meaning each hotel’s production has zero carbon emissions, or goes beyond achieving net-zero carbon emissions to create an environmental benefit by removing additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
