SUSTAINABILITY AT HOTEL LOVENO

Sustainable Tourism – What does it mean for us?

Sustainable tourism defined by UNWTO is described as the kind of tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities.


SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

We have started on our path to sustainability with some attention as managers, for example:

  • We separate waste, from the beginning paper, plastic, and glass and we also put compost ( we only put grass cuttings in our compost bin as the town collected the rest);

  • Instead of individual bars of soap, we put liquid soap in dispensers;

  • Cloth tablecloths instead of paper tablecloths inside. We are still deciding what to do for dinner time!;

  • instead of handing out the paper timetable, we printed and laminated one that guests are happy to photograph;

  • We have joined a Tree vs room cleaning programme, and even this year, we have had a response. We practically give a previously purchased tree to the person who chooses not to have their room cleaned. it is called up2you https://business.u2y.it/

  • We’ve changed suppliers for the single doses of bath foam, and we’ve opted for a product with an ecolabel (I’d love to get rid of plastic, but it’s not easy, I’m looking for at least recycled plastic)

  • We support RefillNow project through Hotel Loveno flasks and refill for free water to anyone in need.
