TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE HOTEL COMMUNITY

 

 

Sustainable award logo

The HICAP Sustainable Hotel Awards were launched in 2007 with the aim of recognizing hotel operators and developers in the Asia Pacific region who demonstrate exemplary sustainable practices and environmentally and culturally responsible development. Through these awards we hope to inspire industry-wide commitment to embracing and proliferating sustainable development as standard practice to help preserve our global and local environments and cultures.

This landmark report, undertaken cooperatively by HICAP, WWF and Horwath HTL, capitalizes on three years of submissions for the HICAP Sustainable Hotel Awards, which recognize the range of sustainability best practices emerging in the hotel sector in Asia and highlight the link between such practices and business/financial performance.  The case studies included in the report are drawn from a range of operations - large and small, city and resort, mainstream and niche - from across the Asia Pacific and provide an insight into the motivation for and impact of more sustainable practices.  The intention is to provide examples of what can be achieved, to encourage and inspire others, and set a benchmark for further reviews.
