Around 25,000 hotels, including IHCL and other top players of the hotel industry have joined hands for the initiative to set a common definition of hotel sustainability in order to support responsible travel & tourism. Set to be launched in March, 2022, the sustainability basic framework is aligned with main aspirations such as the UNWTO Glasgow Declaration and the UNSDG’s decade of action.
In the coming months, the hotel groups joint in this initiative, will work in close alignment with the WTTC, the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance and key stakeholders, on finalizing the essential sustainability actions with demonstrable positive impact, and collaborate to share tools and best practices with each other and the wider industry to ensure all hotels start on a pathway towards the targets of the COP 21 Paris Accord. A unique cooperation between the World Travel & Tourism Council, the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance and leading hotel companies, the initiative aims to raise the global basic level of hotel sustainability in a clear and transparent manner for all travellers and stakeholders.
