The rise in global demand for outdoor lodging products has emerged as a key trend in travel, captivating the imagination of travellers seeking unique, immersive experiences in nature without compromising on comfort and, in many cases, luxury. So, what is outdoor lodging and why does it matter now to hospitality industry stakeholders in Asia Pacific?

Greenview and Horwath HTL are pleased to present the annual Asia Pacific Sustainability Trends 2022 report, which is published for the seventh consecutive year. This report presents results of the 2022 Horwath HTL Asia Pacific Hotel Industry survey. For this year’s report, a total of 2,586 hotels across 15 countries participated by contributing information about their uptake in sustainability practices as well as utility data from 2021 calendar year. The data is compared against a 2019 baseline to provide insight into the average changes in energy and water consumption and costs by country and service type pre and post pandemic. Additionally, sustainability practices undertaken by hotels were also analyzed to understand implementation status at the country level. Continuous spreading of awareness and scaling of solutions globally will enable further advancement in this region. We are proud to support the industry’s effort to benchmark best practices in sustainability, with the results of this report contributing towards publicly available industry-wide initiatives for hoteliers to understand their properties’ sustainability standing: the Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking study, Green Lodging Trends Report and Greenview Hotel Footprinting Tool. We would like to acknowledge and thank the Honorary Advisory Board for the Horwath HTL annual hotel industry surveys and the supporting Country Hotel Associations for their participation and strong support.

The “Asia Pacific Sustainability Trends 2021” report offers an in-depth look at sustainability practices within the hotel industry across 15 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Compiled from data provided by 2,356 hotels, this sixth annual report examines the evolution of energy and water usage, cost trends, and the adoption of sustainability initiatives, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Classic All Day Dining restaurants struggle to compete with high-quality independent venues, in most cities. ADD outlets tend to be oversized, to accommodate breakfast demand, and lack compelling concepts. This results in underutilization and low average spend, compared to specialty and independent restaurants. The current approach is commercially unappealing and wastes an opportunity for the hotel to engage with the local community and develop its reputation. Horwath HTL and EDG Design have worked together to analyse ADD performance numbers across key markets in APAC, to understand and address this dynamic and drive more strategic F&B decision-making for these restaurants.

The “Asia Pacific Sustainability Trends 2020” report provides a detailed examination of sustainability practices in the hotel industry across 16 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the report reflects ongoing efforts to improve sustainability across various aspects of hotel operations, including energy usage, water conservation, and the adoption of eco-friendly practices.
