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.

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.

Perennially popular for its Chocolate Hills and tarsier sanctuary, today Bohol has raised its profile internationally as an inimitable ecotourism destination. Recent tourism boom is propelled by the opening of new Bohol International Airport, infrastructure developments, and government’s continuous tourism promotion. Unique from other destinations, Bohol offers a myriad of attractions from landscape to seascape. Advantageous to Boracay, it boasts more than white sand beaches and is home to one of the world’s best diving sites. Every year Bohol Marine Triangle attracts avid divers with rich marine biodiversity. Unsurprisingly, Bohol has also caught the attention of investors for hotel and leisure developments. Unlike other commercialised resort destinations, Panglao exudes an idyllic charm and authentic hospitality from the local communities appealing to travellers who prefer tranquillity and quietness. As tourism accounts for 90 percent of Bohol’s industry, the critical question on the outlook of Bohol tourism is: “Amidst of rapid tourism growth, will Bohol be able to manage the dichotomy of sustainable tourism to maintain its positioning as a première ecotourism destination whilst being cautious of the environment degradation resulting from construction and tourist influx?”
