Description
As part of this global vision, ASSET-H&C members decided to put a particular focus on eco-responsible hospitality and tourism. In 2017, the network launched the Ecospitality Initiative, which aims at shaping the next generations of responsible tourism professionals by creating conducive environments - eco-schools - for the capacity building of young generations - eco-students.

The overall objective of the initiative is to raise awareness among current and future professionals on the environmental footprint of the tourism industry, and thus have a positive and long-term impact on sustainable development.

The first phase of the project was to help member schools improve their operations in a durable manner to reduce their environmental impact. ASSET-H&C collaborated with Artelia to assess the environmental footprint of training centres, identify good practices, and provide guidance to take further action.

This guide gathers the good practices drawn from the observations and recommendations of Artelia. It aims at helping all interested tourism stakeholders increase their environmental sustainability.
