Hear about sustainable tourism innovations generated through knowledge and participation with Christopher Warren from Crystal Creek Meadows and ICRT Australia.
Guest use of resources represents a very important opportunity for reducing resource use and emissions as they can consume 40-50% of a hotel’s water and use high levels of energy (a/c, lights) 1/2, in self-contained accommodation they would account for almost all the resource use. In other words guest behaviour has a significant impact on energy and water consumption and may actually represent a key channel for tourism to reduce its footprint.
