With the threat of global warming, extensive air and water pollution and fast depletion of non-renewable energy sources looming over us, luxury without environmental responsibility has translated as an irresponsible luxury which we can no longer afford.
It doesn’t deserve a mention that environmental degradation can not only endanger our health and lives but the very future of our planet and all the people of the earth should be the stakeholders in saving the earth from further environmental damage, which sometimes can be irreparable.
Need of the Hour
The hospitality industry as a whole too should make sincere endeavours in this direction. Rainwater harvesting, use of solar energy, LED lighting, preventing water and food wastage, waste recycling, preference towards using of local materials and labour in construction should be the new watchwords for the hospitality industry in this new age.
Succinctly, combining high-end amenities with minimum possible carbon footprints should be the motto of hospitality industry in this post-modern age. Even if the hospitality properties cannot provide high-end amenities it would do, but it shouldn’t operate without environmental-friendly initiatives and sustainable measures.
In India’s hospitality industry some praiseworthy efforts have been taken in this direction, but much more needs to be done. However, it is heartening that the concept of eco-friendly tourism and hospitality is gaining currency in the country.
Here we would talk about some of the wonderful eco-friendly hospitality properties and chains of India, where staying can not only give the guests an enjoyable experience, but which can act as inspirations to many other players in adhering to the principles of eco-friendly hospitality.
