They Have a Special Place: Greening Hotels 🌿

On the one hand, water is running out, on the other hand, we are plundering trees and olive groves and opening new places for concrete pile houses. We are disrupting the balance of nature, as if we were not the ones living in the world. As if we did not know that nature could take revenge on us for all this. Fortunately, there are also businesses that are sensitive to the environment and life. 

According to research, 45-50 percent of the total water used in hotels is used in the rooms, 56 percent of the water used in the hotel room is used in showers and baths, 25 percent is used in the toilet, 9 percent is used in the sink and 10 percent is used for cleaning.

These are really huge numbers and obviously require savings plans.

There are many wastes and damages to our living space, perhaps unknowingly. So, what can a hotel management do about this?

First of all, it would be a good idea to switch to an LED lighting system to reduce electricity consumption. LED lighting is a safer technology that lasts longer and emits less carbon. It may also be beneficial to replace the washing machines, dishwashers or refrigerators throughout the facility with energy-saving models.

In addition, reusable materials can be preferred instead of disposable materials. For example, cloth napkins can be used instead of paper napkins in all food and beverage services and in the rooms. Instead of packaged soap or shampoo or shower gel in small packages, liquid soap, shampoo and shower gel can be offered in the rooms, which the next customer will continue to use. Of course, this cannot be imposed by the hotel, but the opportunity to choose can be offered.

It has its own 'biological' treatment, separates its garbage into glass-plastic-paper, and keeps the front, right and left of its hotel clean at all times...

If possible, if he has a small garden, he grows peppers, tomatoes and fresh mint there...

Is there anything more environmentally friendly than a hotel with a sign on the bed that says, 'If not necessary, don't wash your sheets and pillows every day?'  That's it. Simple, valuable details that are a snap to read.

Of course, environmental awareness increases prestige, brings customers and reduces costs. For this reason, the place of green marketing in new marketing practices in the tourism sector can never be denied. Because the intensifying competition in the tourism sector and the changing consumer profile are reflected in the demands and hotels are changing their location and status. In addition to all these, it is a visible fact that these studies also have a significant impact in terms of marketing. The studies within the scope of green marketing also strengthen the existing corporate image of a hotel.

Why not when there are so many advantages?

Hoping that green hotel management will become widespread…
