Chateau Blanc

This audit is designed specifically for hostels, aligning with the Hostelworld Staircase to Sustainability (S2S) framework and standards. It provides a structured evaluation of a hostel’s sustainability efforts across key areas such as environmental impact, social responsibility, and operational efficiency.

The assessment covered the following requirements

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 assessment covered the following requirements

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.
