Make conscious use of water.

​

Did you know that ecological plumbing is a reality today? You can start by installing water-saving faucets and showers, using solar-powered hot water systems, rainwater collection tanks, etc. Good sustainability practices that have a positive impact in the medium and long term.

Hybrid or electric vehicles for hotel transportation.

​

If your hotel offers free transportation services to take guests to the airport or the city, opt for hybrid or electric vehicles for these trips. Although shared transportation may have its ecological advantages, most hotels use fossil fuel vehicles. Switching to hybrid or electric vehicles can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

​

Recycle, but above all reduce

​

Go one step further. You can't just put out trash cans and regular bins for guests to use. Develop a recycling strategy and make it easy for guests to recycle products to greatly contribute to reducing the carbon footprint and raise guest awareness. A simple gesture that will encourage them to replicate it in their homes.

​

Save energy and multiply the benefits.

​

From changing the luminaires with low-consumption bulbs, such as LEDs, to updating the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, through the installation of solar panels or the use of low-consumption electronic devices and appliances. Small improvements that make your hotel more energy efficient, which means a great reduction in the electricity bill, which allows you to save a lot of money.
