Crisis Resilient Guidelines (HOTREC)

These guidelines are intended to assist HOTREC members to better prepare, withstand and recover from crisis and climate related hazards.

Score: 80 / 100 %

The hospitality industry is highly susceptible to the impacts of natural hazards. In addition, climate change exacerbates natural hazards, including heatwaves, floods, windstorms, droughts and forest fires, through increased hazard frequency, intensity and altered geographic distribution. These escalating crisis and climate risks highlight the need for improved resilience in the hospitality industry. To meet this growing need, Hotel Resilient and HOTREC present these Crisis Resilient Guidelines to HOTREC members, including hotels, restaurants, cafés, and night-life entertainment venues. These guidelines are intended to assist HOTREC members to better prepare, withstand and recover from crisis and climate related hazards. Note these guidelines do not address sustainability, which generally focuses on the protection and stewardship of environmental resources, habitats and local communities. The focus of these guidelines is on crisis resilience. We define crisis resilience as the ability to withstand and recover from natural hazard impacts. In the hospitality industry, crisis resilience prioritizes above all the safety of guests and staff when faced with natural hazard events, while also implementing measures to maintain essential services and swiftly recover from disaster impacts. Crisis resilience is also a dynamic process rather than a static state, meaning businesses need to adapt to environmental changes and learn from experience to better plan, prepare, respond and recover from future crisis impacts.

The audit covered the following requirements

Our back-up generators are now flood-proof

We are a hotel that takes disaster preparedness seriously. We've upgraded our back-up generator with flood protection to ensure we can continue to provide power in the event of a flood. We've also created a comprehensive disaster plan and trained our staff to be ready to respond in case of an emergency. Our guests feel reassured knowing that we're prepared for any situation. It's important for us to prioritize the safety and comfort of our guests.

We commit to energy-saving

We've implemented several energy-saving initiatives such as LED lighting, motion sensors, and energy-efficient appliances. We've also trained our staff to be more conscious of energy usage, and encourage guests to participate in our sustainability efforts. Our efforts have paid off, and we've saved thousands of dollars on energy costs. It's not just good for the environment, but it's also good for our bottom line.

We stopped using single-use plastic

As owners of a hotel, we feel responsible for the impact we have on the environment. We've taken steps to eliminate all single-use plastic in our property and replaced them with sustainable options. Our guests have been supportive of our efforts, and we've noticed an increase in bookings as a result. It's not just about reducing waste, but it's also about creating a more sustainable future for everyone. We're proud to be part of the solution, and we hope to inspire others to join us in our mission.
