Sustainability
OUR COMMITENT TO SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL
We believe that local hotels are at the heart of sustainable hospitality
Local hotels are inextricably connected to the communities they embed and play a crucial role in the economic, social, environmental and cultural makeup of their settings.
They are uniquely positioned to foster a sense of place and authenticity that encourage visitors to honour the destinations they visit and consciously contribute towards protecting the cultural heritage, supporting economic growth, social inclusion and caring for the environment which surrounds them.
Enriching the sense of adventure, learning and transformation that comes from travel while ensuring that generations to come will continue to reap the benefits of travel.
This is why we have long viewed sustainability as an integral long-term and ever-evolving mission for our member hotels

We are Committed to ensuring guests know how to actively contribute
We shine a light and give voice to the individual actions of our hotels. Many are geared towards making sure that guests too can positively impact the sustainability of tourism.
We want you to that know that when you choose one of our great hotels of the world, you too become a part of reducing consumption, emissions and waste, actively nurturing natural ecosystems around the world, promoting local educational programs, funding and conserving the arts, providing equal employment opportunities for all, and supporting a wide range of local business sectors, including homegrown agriculture and foods that go straight to your table.

We build upon our ecosystem of like-minded industry partners
We partner with entities from a wide range of industries and sectors, directly and indirectly, connected with hospitality. We take care to assess and evaluate that their mode of operation, general conduct, policies and vision, align with our own.
We look for possible points of collaboration, and wherever possible add value to all of our stakeholders where sustainability is concerned.
