At The Sustainable Host, we embrace sustainable travel, a key trend among 2024’s travelers.
Our mission is to empower short-term hosts with knowledge and resources to implement sustainable practices, thereby contributing to environmental conservation while optimising their rental income creating an experience that’s not only local and authentic but also globally sustainable. This aligns with our commitment to promoting responsible tourism and encouraging eco-friendly travel practices worldwide.
Millions have enjoyed stays at Airbnb, VRBO, and similar platforms, highlighting home sharing as an eco-conscious travel choice. An impressive 88% of hosts globally adopt at least one or two green practices, such as using eco-friendly cleaning products, supporting recycling or composting, advocating for public transport or bike use, and even installing solar panels. Without going further however we risk our planet as well as the opportunity to create more income.
A significant two-thirds of guests on these platforms have indicated that the environmental advantages of home sharing played a role in their accommodation choices. At a time when travel and tourism contribute to 10% of the global economy and are growing, these shared homes stand out for being more sustainable. They produce less waste, save more water, and use less energy than traditional hotel stays.
