Hotelplan releases environmental report under GRI guidelines
Swiss hotel group Hotelplan has released an environmental report, which takes into account the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative, in preparation for the “imminent sustainability revolution in tourism”.
The report, the second one produced by Hotelplan, says: “For the very first time, the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) have been taken into account – though only in part for the time being. A continual integration of the essential part of the GRI, the Tour Operator’s Sector Supplement, so important for any tour operator, will not only help develop reporting towards full sustainability but also the operative commitment still mostly based on ecological considerations.”
“We want to use the opportunity offered to us in time, and shall continually question and verity our own value-added chain in the sense of an active development of products and prepare for the imminent sustainability revolution in tourism.”
Hotelplan is also Vice Chairman of The Tour Operator’s Initiative (TOI) of the United Nations Environment Plan.
The report concludes that the purpose of the report is to “provide information on the fact that travels may be relaxing but also prove to be a drain on the ecology. We want to account for our acts to ourselves and the public. And we shall do this in an even more extensive manner in the future – in the form of systematic reporting, so that all those pages we print will reveal all aspects of our work – frankly and attractively.”
