The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has launched a set of criteria for hotels to implement to help raise the base level of sustainability across the hospitality industry.  

Julia Simpson said the WTTC wants the hospitality industry to “lead by example”

The Hotel Sustainability Basics initiative, which was announced on Thursday (21 April) at the organisation’s Global Summit in Manila, will help hotels address and improve their environmental impact.

It includes 12 actions which are "fundamental to hotel sustainability" and will help raise the base level of sustainability across the hospitality industry by providing hotels with a starting point on their "sustainability journey".
