Certified hotels are more efficient
In 2018 alone, 9.2 million TUI customers stayed in hotels certified to an externally recognised sustainability standard. The ecological benefit is substantial, as studies have shown that hotels with sustainability certifications outperform conventional hotels, cutting CO2 emissions per overnight stay by ten per cent and waste volumes by 24 per cent on average. Sustainable hotels also consume 19 per cent less fresh water and use 23 per cent more green energy. In 2018, as many as 81 per cent of all hotels in TUI’s Hotels & Resorts’ portfolio held sustainability certifications. Sustainability is closely aligned with customer satisfaction, as certified hotels deliver better NPS scores.
