According to the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, a hotel can use an average of 1,500 litres of water per room per day. When you compare this with an average UK household using around 142 litres per person per day (or around 500 litres per average household per day) this is a significant figure.
Water use is also one of the key factors driving the sustainability agenda which is increasingly influencing hotel concepts, component specification and long-term design thinking.
Societal demands for greener and cleaner solutions are on the rise as consumers look to solutions that have a positive impact on the planet and mitigate harm. As a result, hotel designers and operators are more mindful of the sustainability debate than ever.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
