Eco-conscious guests are seeking short stay accommodations that align with their environmental values. For short stay rental managers, integrating eco-friendly practices not only helps reduce environmental impact, but also boosts appeal, guest satisfaction, and saves money on power and products in the long run.
Here are some ways that you can integrate greener living in an industry that can be wasteful.
The benefits are 2 pronged: saving the earth and saving your money. Reducing energy consumption is a key aspect of running a sustainable rental, as well as keeping the cost of bills down. Here are actionable ways to achieve that:
Again, switching to energy efficient appliances are an investment and larger initial outlay, but it will save you money over time, as well as saving the earth.
With water scarcity becoming a concern (especially down under), conserving water should be a priority. Guests will appreciate thoughtful water-saving features, especially in regions where drought or overuse is a concern.
Water saving techniques area hot topic in Hobart – did you know we are the second driest capital city in all of Australia?
Many of Retreats Tasmania properties are on rainwater tanks, so we add a section to our guest compendium letting guests know how they can be more mindful with their water usage.
Sustainable waste management isn’t just good for the planet; it creates a cleaner, more organised property and a better guest experience.
We work like a well-oiled machine at Retreats Tasmania – our fantastic housekeepers know the bin collection day for every property and bins are always placed out accordingly. If the property is occupied, guests also have access to the collection calendar, including which fortnight is for recycling collection.
One of the most wasteful parts of the travel industry is all the single use products and plastics – follow these helpful tips to break the mould at your holiday home.
We have found the simplest way to reduce waste whilst also saving money is to phase out single use plastics, buy amenities in bulk, and buy refillable products.
Once your eco-friendly systems are in place, be sure to market them effectively:
Sustainability isn’t just about saving resources - it’s about delivering a thoughtful, responsible, and high-quality guest experience. By integrating eco-friendly practices into your short stay property, you not only appeal to a growing demographic of conscious travellers but also invest in long-term cost savings and a healthier planet.
Whether you're managing a city studio or a countryside cottage, every step toward sustainability counts. And the best part? Your guests will notice - and appreciate - the difference. This will improve guest experience, leading to better reviews, resulting in higher occupancy. Results for everyone!
