Sustainability as a success factor in the hotel and catering industry

A look at the hotel and catering market shows that sustainability is not a fad. Even in medium-sized companies, sustainability, in varying degrees, is now part of the corporate concept.

In this book, the authors from Freyberg, Gruner and Hübschmann explain what sustainability means in the hospitality industry, what promising strategies exist and which tools can be used, for example, in certification and in purchasing, energy and personnel management.

In particular, answers to the following questions help hospitality entrepreneurs decide to focus on sustainability and, if so, to what extent:

• Does investing in sustainability and responsibility towards society bring a return on investment?
• Does the guest appreciate the commitment and is he prepared to cover any additional costs?
• What is the right sustainability strategy for your own company? Which measures are suitable for the respective type of hospitality business, and which are not?
