Embracing Sustainability by Catering to Local Guests
How Partnering With Dayuse Can Boost Your Hotel's CSR
For both ethical and economic reasons, hotels have been engaging in CSR (Corporate Social Responsability) initiatives and integrating sustainable development into their growth strategies. In today’s world, this can no longer be dismissed as a fleeting trend - it is an unignorable ethics issue as climate change reshapes the landscape of global tourism. There are four categories of CSR: environmental, philanthropic, ethical, and economic responsibility. Among the many strategies to implement CSR practices, partnering with Dayuse stands out as a powerful tool for hotels to enhance theirs. This partnership can help attract environmentally-conscious local guests especially at a time when tourism is responsible for roughly 8% of the world's carbon emissions.
One of the leading trends in the travel industry to emerge in recent years is local tourism - otherwise known as the staycation. Local tourism has numerous benefits - it supports the local economy and fosters community strength, but most importantly, it’s good for the environment. Aviation is responsible for over 2% of global carbon emissions and airplanes emit* approximately 100 times more CO2 than a shared bus or train ride**. Daycations offer guests an opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint by avoiding air travel while still taking some time to rest and recharge. Demand for eco-friendly travel is on the rise as consumers seek to avoid damaging the environment with their choices. In 2023, a report by the World Travel & Tourism Council revealed that 69% of consumers are looking for sustainable options for travel.
By offering daytime stays to local guests, hotels are not only maximizing their revenue potential but also aligning with eco-friendly practices. Attracting local guests through Dayuse has a dual benefit: it supports the hotel's sustainability goals while reducing the environmental impact of travel. When guests can conveniently book a nearby hotel for a few hours instead of embarking on long journeys, it significantly reduces their carbon footprint.
By engaging with the local community, hotels can offer guests a more authentic experience. Building relationships with local suppliers, businesses and artisans can help a hotel become an integral part of their local ecosystem, supporting the livelihoods of nearby businesses and contributing to the overall well-being of their neighborhoods. Sourcing goods from local suppliers helps hotels lower their carbon footprint as it shortens the supply chain, thus cutting down fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and overall pollution.
