How to make your hotel more eco-friendly?
Nowadays more and more people are choosing to engage in eco-conscious lifestyles at home & their tastes in hotels and travel destinations have changed to be noticeably greener, too. This has made it crucial for your hotel or resorts in Kerala to adopt more eco-friendly practices so as to stay competitive, attract more travelers & save money.
Conserve Energy
Switching to long-lasting LED lights or installing skylights in common areas, energy-saving kitchen, laundry, and AC equipment can drastically reduce energy use in hotels. Consider purchasing a solar water heating system for the pool as well.
Limit Water Waste
Water conservation reduces energy use and saves money in the long run. Think of installing low-flow showerheads and toilets, as well as sink aerators in hotel rooms.
Reduce Disposables
Switch to natural and organic toiletries in biodegradable or recyclable packaging instead of disposable shampoos, soaps & conditioners. Reusable glasses and mugs can reduce disposable waste.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning Supplies
Green cleaning products without harmful chemicals can help your hotel or resort to offer a safer, more natural environment to travelers.
Serve Local Organic Food
Eco-minded travelers always want to dine on healthy, sustainable cuisine. Offering local, seasonal, organic food is a great way to impress your guests!
Consider Composting
Composting food waste is a great way to conserve the environment. You can use the compost remains as manure for your resort garden.
Install Eco-Friendly Filtered Water Dispensers
Industrial water filtration systems and countertop water dispensers are a great and eco-friendly way to serve water.
Mango Meadows, the world’s best agricultural theme park in Kottayam & resort is already implementing some of these sustainability efforts in their hotel. You too can do this and it will help your hotel or resort to stay competitive, save money, and reduce your negative impact on the environment.
