Hello Mews Community!

Sustainability is at the forefront of the hospitality industry as travelers increasingly demand eco-friendly experiences. A recent survey by Amadeus, involving 170 senior sustainability decision-makers across nine countries, sheds light on how technology is driving significant change in the sector.

Here are some key takeaways:

• Increased ESG Investments: 37% of hotels plan to boost their sustainability spending, with technology playing a key role in achieving their goals.
• Tech Solutions: Technology is seen as a crucial enabler for improving operational efficiencies, reducing carbon footprints, and helping travelers make more sustainable choices.
• Social Responsibility: Hotels are using tech to support initiatives like equal pay and community impact, while also tackling issues such as over-tourism.
• Challenges: Cost, knowledge gaps, and resource limitations continue to be barriers, but collaboration and the right tech can drive progress.

Hotels are partnering with initiatives like the HRS Green Stay label to adopt more sustainable practices, ensuring positive change in both environmental and social areas.
