How sustainability in your hotel in Vietnam can help make the country better.
How your hotel can bring change and add value to Vietnam is key, according to United Nations the emergency time is already here.
Several considerations about hotels in Vietnam: single-use plastic users, water use often 8 times more than local community, direct & indirect bio-diversity or global emissions are just few of the topics you can support in.
Been recently talking to dozens of owners, general managers from both domestic and international brands in several destinations in Vietnam, most of them understand the importance of being sustainable, the ones who do not reply to change are left behind and customers know the topic well too. New generations are linked to environmental protection and to eco-think much more than you expect.
Tips for you to add value:
+ Cut your food waste (we can help on you on service side with several solutions, re-selecting your organic waste to re-invest in your garden areas). This will also cut your cost in the next year budget. Circularity as its best is on you.
+ Revamp your hotel to a paper-less one: the old days are history and your operations does not need paper anymore. Electronic transmissions and e-invoices are ready in Vietnam and you can adjust yourself and your team to the daily use.
+ Reduction of water use (real samples as shower pressure reduction, laundry solutions or collection of rain water are just few topics we can help you with).
+ Energy saving and efficiency applications (solar solutions, organic waste treatment options or saving power aid are on your side).
+ Reduce your plastic use (treating all your plastic, re-using it for new products you will use & purchase at lesser price, reusable options like glass or biodegradable packaging, we can support on you above and more solutions)
