Sustainability Reports: A fundamental pillar for tourist accommodations

Content in collaboration with our partner Bioscore Sustainability, a sustainability consultant for tourism companies.

​

In the current context, tourism is not only measured by the quality of services or the beauty of destinations, but also by the impact it generates on the environment and local communities. Increasingly, travelers are looking for accommodations that not only offer comfort but are also environmentally responsible and committed to a sustainable development model. In this scenario, sustainability reports have become a key tool for tourist accommodations, helping them stand out in a competitive market while reinforcing their commitment to transparency.

But what exactly is a sustainability report, and why should it be on the agenda of any hotel or accommodation that aspires to be a leader in the sector? In short, it is much more than a report: it is a reflection of the overall impact your company generates and the roadmap towards a more conscious and responsible operating model.

​

Preparing a sustainability report involves much more than complying with a legal obligation or presenting cold figures on energy consumption or waste management. It is an opportunity to tell a powerful story, to show the world how each operational decision, each implemented improvement, and each relationship with the local community contributes to a more humane and planet-respectful tourism. It is also a vehicle for transmitting values, consolidating reputation, and establishing relationships of trust with customers, partners, and investors.

What is a sustainability report?

​

A sustainability report is a document that collects, analyzes, and communicates the actions of an accommodation in key areas such as environmental management, social impact, and corporate governance. This report not only measures current performance but also sets clear objectives to continuously progress and contribute to global challenges, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

For tourist accommodations, a well-prepared report allows them to:

​

• Show transparency and commitment: Travelers and partners value companies that act responsibly and are clearly accountable.
• Identify areas for improvement: The analysis process promotes more efficient practices, which can generate economic savings and reduce environmental impact.
• Comply with regulations: In many countries, this report is already a regulatory requirement for operation.
• Build a sustainable reputation: 87% of travelers say they would choose sustainable accommodation if they had the opportunity, according to a Booking.com report (2023).

The key moment for preparing the report

​

The last quarter of the year is crucial for tourist accommodations, as it coincides with the closing of most economic and operational years. It is the perfect time to:

1. Evaluate the impact generated during the year.
2. Align the results with international sustainability standards.
3. Plan objectives and commitments for the coming year.

In addition, many regulations require the submission of sustainability reports on specific dates, which makes this period ideal for ensuring compliance with legal and market requirements.
