Understanding Hotel Sustainability
Sustainability is a complex topic, so we’ve taken every effort to make it as approachable, practical and actionable as possible. To make hotel sustainability happen, you must first understand what the term exactly means.
With our Introduction handbook, we give you all the information you need to find your way through the jungle of myths and misinformation when it comes to sustainability. In order to do that, we introduce you to the United Nation's 17 SDGs and MAp’s 4 Ps of Sustainability. We also highlight what makes a sustainable hotel, why it's relevant, and the benefits it brings for your hotel.
You may choose to read the Introduction handbook alone to get an overview of sustainability and learn the most important basics. Or you may choose to read it in combination with our other free resources, our RoadMap, or as a first step in working through The Sustainable Hotel handbooks.
What’s included:
- An introduction to MAp’s 4Ps of Sustainability and the UN SDGs
- Frequently-asked questions about sustainability
- An overview of the benefits that come with having a sustainable hotel
- Explanations about what sustainability is and what it is not
- An exposition of sustainability myths and how to overcome them
- Guidelines to help you start your sustainability journey NOW
