Where you stay during an event plays a crucial role in eco-conscious event participation. Choosing sustainable accommodation helps minimise the environmental impact while supporting responsible tourism.
Sustainable Accommodation Options
Certified Hotels
Look for hotels with sustainability certifications such as ECOsmart, Green Key, or Green Tourism. These accreditations indicate eco-friendly operations.
Locally-Owned Stays
Supporting local businesses helps the economy and often reduces environmental impact. Large hotels are resource-intensive by comparison.
Minimalist Stays
Choose accommodations that prioritise energy efficiency, renewable energy, and waste reduction. This includes venues such as eco-lodges or hostels with sustainable practices. Hostels are approximately 75% less carbon-intensive than hotels. They emit an average of 0.30 tCO₂e per bed compared to 1.18 tCO₂e for hotels.
Reuse Towels & Linens
Many hotels now offer options to reuse linens instead of having them washed daily, saving water and energy.
Making thoughtful accommodation choices can significantly reduce your environmental footprint. Opting for certified eco-friendly hotels, supporting local businesses, or staying in energy-efficient lodgings, means a more sustainable event experience. Keep these tips in mind for your next trip to ensure responsible and eco-conscious accommodation choices.
