act that tourism brings to the environment society and destinations in this context the emergence of sustainable lifehubs has garnered significant attention signifying a holistic approach to sustainability within the tourism industry according to the ecological and sustainable tourism profiles and trends report 66 of tourists are willing to pay more for sustainable brands the data confirms that the tourism sector is responsible for around 5 of global carbon dioxide emissions of which 1 corresponds to the accommodation sector therefore today at discorp we will talk about hotels and sustainable design through the brand mockuproom a brand dedicated to conceptualization design and hotel furnishing contributing to the vision of sustainable lifehubs until recently little importance was given to the architectural component within sustainable tourism however as buildings become more visible within the tourism landscape the need to apply environmental criteria in their construction becomes more evident in addition various initiatives have been launched to align the tourism sector with the 2030 agenda for sustainable development and the sustainable development goals sdgs among them the declaration of 2017 as the international year of sustainable tourism for development by the united nations given their large size and high impact on the environment sustainable hotels are a fundamental element to address within sustainable architecture in fact according to a study conducted by the global sustainable tourism council gstc and the hotel technology institute ith 90 of surveyed travelers would choose a sustainable hotel to stay in and 34 of them were willing to pay more for this type of accommodation taking into account this interest we will now talk about some of the most important topics surrounding sustainable hospitality what elements make a hotel considered sustainable what is a sustainable hotel a sustainable hotel is one that is designed respecting the environment and whose operation does not have a negative impact on the place where it is built or its surroundings likewise it actively participates with the local community using its resources respectfully and promoting the economic and social development of the locality like sustainability in general a sustainable hotel not only brings benefits to the environment but also helps society and the communities with which it interacts what elements make a hotel considered sustainable for a hotel to be considered sustainable it must meet at least one of these characteristics environment culture and society of the site where it was built at the time of its design this means that the hotel will be part of the local landscape harmonizing with natural elements and above all with the people in the place and their culture respect for the surroundings both from the natural and social points of view this includes preserving the biodiversity of the local environment reducing non recyclable waste generated and avoiding the use of non renewable energy sources that consume local elements and deplete them contribute to the development of the community and promote local businesses in this sense sustainable hotels function as job generating sources since on the one hand the community finds work in the hotel and on the other hand the hotel refers travelers to use the community s services promote the consumption of local products which brings economic benefits and in turn favors the development of the local identity of the destination and enhances the elements that differentiate it from other places use renewable energy sources to supply most of the hotel s energy requirements this includes the use of solar energy wind energy or the construction of the building with bioclimatic principles use organic and recycled materials including construction materials cleaning materials hotel consumables among others respect the principles of bioclimatic construction so that the use of air conditioning and heating systems can be completely reduced 0 comments iceland uruguay costa rica and norway are four countries that can already boast of generating all their energy with renewable sources although it is true that 100 has not yet been reached during each and every one of the 365 days of the year it is true that dirty energy sources are already something marginal in these countries they are the example to follow for the rest of the planet there are four nations that constitute the spearhead in the energy transition towards renewable sources in reality they have practically completed that transition and have left fossil fuels behind how has it been possible in all cases they are processes that began many years ago and furthermore they always had their governments as staunch defenders of this transformation iceland iceland is a country that above all consumes a lot of energy per capita which is quite understandable if you take into account the low temperatures that are recorded throughout the year furthermore it has been a historically poor nation in fact until the 1970s it was included in the category of developing countries by the united nations its economy was always based on agriculture and fishing and as for the sources to generate energy they have always been fossil fuels fundamentally imported therefore it did not seem like an example of sustainability and yet the icelandic political authorities decided to change course around 1980 this is how iceland with 360 000 inhabitants radically transformed its conventional energy mix for one based on domestic renewable sources renewable energies surpassed 99 of energy production in the 1980s and have continued to do so ever since today all of iceland s electrical power is generated by hydroelectric and geothermal power without realizing it the energy was on the island itself and moreover free and clean volcanoes provide geothermal energy in abundant amounts and on the other hand hydroelectric power is the other most important source of supply in iceland geothermal energy is used in addition to generating electricity through large steam turbines to provide heating for entire cities through centralized urban systems to melt snow on sidewalks to heat swimming pools to supply energy for fish farming greenhouses and food or cosmetics processing 95 of the houses in the country are heated with this energy recalls the ph d in physics from the complutense university of madrid ignacio mártil keep in mind that iceland is the first country in the world in energy consumption per capita with 194 2 megawatts per hour and the first on the planet in electricity consumption per capita with 54 7 uruguay uruguay is a country of 3 4 million inhabitants that is setting an example to the world on how to take advantage of clean energy sources above all it takes advantage of the potential of its rivers for hydroelectric generation and in addition makes a significant investment effort in this matter because it dedicates 3 of its gross domestic product gdp annually to a global plan to reorient energy towards renewable sources as a result of all this already in 2016 it exceeded 90 of renewable generation and in 2018 it was the first country in south america in electricity production from renewable sources with 97 the latest known data from the state electricity of uruguay ute are very encouraging as they indicate that 98 of the electricity consumed in the country during the year 2019 came from renewable sources 55 6 comes from hydroelectric plants another 33 6 from wind installations 6 comes from biomass 2 8 from photovoltaic energy and 2 from solar thermal according to ute 2019 in addition to being a record year for renewables was also a record year for total electricity generation 14 000 gwh and that exported regarding energy exports almost 3 000 gwh were sold to brazil and argentina during the year that has just ended the equivalent of 21 of uruguayan electricity demand a percentage never reached before of the total exported 80 went to argentina and the remaining 20 to brazil in 2019 the government and the ute company developed all kinds of energy efficiency projects and programs efficient and sustainable mobility waste recovery circular economy and energy communes rural households that did not have access to the electricity grid were also reached five pilot electrification projects with off grid solutions are currently being implemented these houses which until now had no electricity have substantially improved their quality of life costa rica costa rica a heavenly country blessed by nature has 5 5 million inhabitants currently it generates more than 99 of its electricity through five different renewable sources hydroelectric power 78 wind power 10 geothermal power 10 biomass and solar power 1 the main one is as in the previous case the hydraulics that according to the costa rican institute of electricity ice generates 78 of the electricity this is because its privileged location in the middle of the caribbean sea allows it to take advantage of this resource costa rica has promoted the use of renewable energies since the middle of the last century in order to conserve the environment and free itself from dependence on oil producing countries according to tabaré arroyo author of the study leaders in clean energy this long history has been successful thanks to two key mechanisms that have facilitated the penetration of renewable energies into the energy mix the first a specific system of auctions by technology that allowed to increase the contracting of additional capacity the second a program that encourages consumers to produce energy by selling excess energy to the grid likewise costa rica has chosen to encourage the purchase of electric cars by eliminating the taxes associated with them it will also promote the creation of an infrastructure of charging stations throughout the country trusting that the development of more autonomous and cheaper batteries will do the rest in addition to optimizing the public transport service thanks to the adoption of an electric train with a capacity for 250 000 people almost 74 kilometers long and three lines and 42 stations in 15 cantons of the country norway norway 5 million inhabitants is the great european benchmark in terms of sustainable energy sources since 2018 norway has approached 100 renewable production throughout the year and its main source is hydroelectric energy responsible for more than 96 of the total generated it was the norwegian fjords and the energy obtained from the force of the water that started norway on its successful clean energy path already at the end of the 19th century the rest of the supply comes from wind solar and biofuels although to a much lesser extent norway is also leading green transport not only by land but also by sea some of the first electric boats operate there and in less than a decade it has proposed to turn its mobility around betting on the electric vehicle paradoxically norway has achieved a high standard of living thanks to the hydrocarbon industry a fuel that it tries to bury in the past 0 comments sustainable tourism is tourism that follows the principles of sustainability minimizing the impact on the environment and local culture while contributing to generate income and employment for the local population the world tourism organization unwto defines sustainable tourism as tourism that fully takes into account the current and future economic social and environmental impacts to meet the needs of visitors the industry the environment and the host communities the world tourism organization unwto is an international organization created in 1975 that aims to promote tourism formally linked to the united nations since 1976 when it became an executive agency of undp in 1977 an agreement was signed that formalized the collaboration with the united nations being a specialized agency of the united nations system since 2003 it has its headquarters in madrid spain and has 156 member states according to unwto the principles that define sustainable tourism are the natural and cultural resources are conserved for their continued use in the future while they report benefits tourism development is planned and managed in a way that does not cause serious environmental or socio cultural problems the environmental quality is maintained and improved it seeks to maintain a high level of satisfaction of visitors and the destination retains its prestige and commercial potential y the benefits of tourism are widely distributed throughout society these characteristics make sustainable tourism a strategic tool in local and national economic development on the one hand tourism is a great opportunity in some urban and rural areas where there are no other alternatives for economic activity at the same time as part of the services sector it offers more opportunities for the emergence of local companies we must bear in mind that even in the most developed countries this sector is mainly made up of smes and despite being a sector that requires heavy investments in infrastructure and equipment it also uses labor intensively thus offering numerous job and business opportunities without distinction for men women and young people this trend of tourism called sustainable tourism is also supported by unesco who argues that the development of sustainable tourism must be ecologically sustainable in the long term economically viable as well as ethically and socially equitable bresce 2009 0 comments surely you know that sustainability has become an added value in any type of trip you should also know that there are hotels that in an effort not to be left behind are described as green when they are not but do you know how to detect if the hotel you visit passes the basic standards to be sustainable if you want to determine how responsible you are when it comes to environmental responsibility here are some criteria to determine your credibility its construction is sustainable look at the architecture of the place many of the new hotels use recycled materials for their construction such as wood or cotton for interior decoration others concentrate on not damaging the space in which they stand transplanting trees or creating protected spaces in addition there are increasingly more structures to absorb natural energy evident in the properties from solar panels to rainwater collection systems it has a system of saving resources maintaining the consumption of resources to a minimum is a decisive step in the search for sustainability for this hotels often install lights with sensor controls that turn off completely when there is no one in the room another tool is to install showers with little pressure to reduce water consumption help the community or the surrounding environment a sustainable hotel will do everything possible to return something to the environment in which it is located some support the local community with jobs or financial assis...
