Entries open for 2008 Sustainable Hotel Awards
SINGAPORE – Horwath HTL and Burba Hotel Network, co-hosts and organisers of the annual Hotel Investment Conference Asia Pacific (HICAP), have announced submissions for the 2008 are now being accepted.
Deadline for submissions is August 31
The Sustainable Hotel Awards were launched at HICAP 2007 to recognise hotels (and their developers) in the Asia Pacific region demonstrating exemplary sustainable development best practices.
Base criteria have been outlined for five distinct areas in which sustainable development practices can be best highlighted.
Worthy hotels can be nominated/entered in one or more of the five categories.
A maximum of three hotels are honoured each year and such hotels will not necessarily represent best practices covering all five categories.
In this way, it is recognised that 100 percent sustainable development is still difficult to reach in any hotel and important best practices can be made in varying areas of a development and not necessarily as a complete whole.
Nominated properties will be reviewed, and the award recipients selected, by an expert judging panel comprised of the following:
• Professor Michael C. G. Davidson Director, Centre for Tourism, Sport and Service Innovation, Griffith Business School
• Lyndall DeMarco, Prince of Wales International Business Leaders Forum
• James Dion, Associate Director, Center for Sustainable Destinations, National Geographic Society
• Mark Eckstein, Managing Director, International Finance, WWF-US
• John Goldwyn, Senior Associate, WATG
• Dr. Harold Goodwin, Director, International Centre for Responsible Tourism, Leeds Metropolitan University
• Klaus Lengefeld, Coordinator, GTZ
AWARD CATEGORIES/CRITERIA:
1. SITE SELECTION AND SUSTAINABILITY
2. ARCHITECTURAL AND PHYSICAL DESIGN
3. OPERATIONAL ASPECTS
4. LEVERAGING INFLUENCE
5. SPECIAL AWARD
