WTTC launches Hotel Sustainability Basics verification scheme
The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has launched the Hotel Sustainability Basics (Basics). Announced at ITB Berlin, which takes place from 7 March to 9 March 2023, Basics will enable tourist accommodation providers from around the world, regardless of their size, to begin their sustainability journey.
Basics, an industry-backed scheme, is a globally recognised set of criteria that all hotels should implement as a minimum to drive responsible and sustainable travel and tourism.
Basics emerged as a result of a clear demand from a group of influential global hotel brands and whilst there a great number of sustainability initiatives, Basics focuses on an achievable starting point.
It will encourage all accommodation providers to begin their sustainability journeys and meet the fundamental standards required of our sector.
