A Manual to Measuring and Monitoring Resource Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Hotel and Conference Sector

Published on February 2, 2022

A Manual to Measuring and Monitoring Resource Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Hotel and Conference Sector is aiming to support tourism businesses to measure and improve the performance of their business in resource efficiency and GHG emissions. In particular, it looks at resource efficiency in the accommodation and conference sector in developing and emerging economies. This Manual was developed the United Nations Environment Programme within the framemework of the International Climate Initiative Project-funded project called “Transforming Tourism Value Chains in Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States to Accelerate More Resource-Efficient, Low-Carbon Development”,

We would welcome feedback from tourism businesses who are using the Manual and stories of successes and achievements via our project platforms: https://www.oneplanetnetwork.org/value-chains/transforming-tourism/get-involved

While individual company approaches may be effective in some cases, sharing experiences helps develop a common approach that promotes sustainability through the wider tourism industry
