Start An Eco Hotels Business

An eco-friendly hotel employs sustainable practices to reduce its impact on the environment. Some measures include energy and water consumption, zero waste generation, and eco-friendly products in its maintenance, services, and supply chain.

According to statistics, a third of consumers prefer sustainable brands. In addition, tours and travel brands like Tripadvisor have developed a Green Leaders program.

Starting an eco-friendly hotel brand is profitable and a way of supporting environmental conservation efforts. If you are starting an eco-friendly hotel, sensitize your staff on the importance of ecological conservation. Some eco-friendly ideas to consider for your hotel include:

Cutting down on the use of plastic water bottles by adding a water filling station in the lobby
Offering guests a reusable branded water bottle
Installing towel racks in bathrooms to make it easier for guests to reuse the towels
Making recycling options easy to spot

Starting an eco-friendly hotel may sound. However, with more people becoming sensitive to environmental preservation, an eco-friendly hotel could be more profitable than you expect.
