Boosting Green: Incentives for Small Hotels to Embrace Sustainability

The Hotel Association of India (HAI) is urging the government to provide incentives that would help small hotel operators adopt sustainability practices. While luxury hotels lead in green initiatives, smaller establishments face cost challenges. The association aims for the hotel industry to achieve full sustainability by 2047.

The Hotel Association of India is seeking government incentives for small hotel operators to embrace sustainability, highlights MP Bezbaruah, the association's Secretary General.

While luxury and five-star hotels spearhead green initiatives, small hotels struggle with the costs. Bezbaruah emphasizes the need for sustainability incentives, such as tax reductions, to encourage adoption.

HAI’s Vision 2047 aims for a fully sustainable hotel industry, promoting the 'three-zero-concept.' The focus is on awareness and commitment to eco-friendly practices across all members.
