Sustainable Step-in Assessment

The following represents a minimum sustainability good practice checklist for hotels.

Score: 91 / 100 %

This assessment has been developed as a cooperation between Travelife for Tour Operators and Hotel Resilient - piloted under the SWITCH-Asia SUSTOUR and TourLink projects. The audit is based on a detailed comparison of the GSTC Criteria for Hotels and Accommodations, the WTTC Hotel Sustainability Basics, Travalyst's 32 accommodation attributes for sustainable tourism (used by Booking.com, Expedia and Google), the UNESCO Sustainable Travel Pledge, the Department for Environmental Quality Promotion (DEQP), the Thai Green Hotel Standard and the Travelife for Hotels standard.

The audit covered the following requirements

Crisis & Climate Resilience

This comprehensive multi-hazard audit covers the baseline of Hotel Resilient Crisis Standards.

Score: 81 / 100 %

This audit follows the Hotel Resilient Standards. The standards take proven disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation strategies and tailor them to the needs of the hotel industry. They outline the policies, procedures and actions hotels should implement to become disaster and climate resilient. The audit is divided into seven general sections and two building specific sections. The audit therefore addresses hotels with multiple buildings and provides individual scores for each building type. Your responses to the audit questions will combine to measure a hotel's risk and resilience to natural and technological hazards, including impacts from climate change.

The audit covered the following requirements

Advanced Sustainable Audit

This audit addresses issues of social resposibility & environmental sustainability in tourism.

This audit was done as a self-assessment and not (yet) verified.

This audit addresses issues of internal social responsibility, cultural preservation, internal environmental management, supply chain engagement and customer communication. In addition, this self-assessment will help you to figure out where your business stands in terms of sustainability, where you're already doing a good job, and where there's room for improvement. Sustainability has become essential for the success and continuity of tourism businesses. Responsible practices in hotels not only save costs, improve staff satisfaction, have positive impacts on customer experience and their likelihood of returning, but help us to save our planet.

The audit covered the following requirements

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 planted new mangroves around our beach

We've planted mangroves along the coast to increase our tsunami protection. The mangroves not only help to prevent erosion, but also provide a habitat for marine life. We've also educated our guests about the importance of protecting our environment and reducing their carbon footprint. It's important for us to take action to protect our community and the planet. We're proud to be part of the solution, and we hope to inspire others to do the same.

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.
