Not only have these energy and waste reduction initiatives resulted in cost savings, but they have also helped the hotel to stand out in a competitive market. Hitesh notes that many customers are now seeking out sustainable hotels and are willing to pay a premium for eco-friendly accommodations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He expects that the hotel\u2019s new positioning will \u201cappeal to corporate and government spending sensibilities and attract more patronage to the hotel and its extensive conference facilities \u2013 especially as there are only a handful of other hotels that can make a similar stand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re able to extract some kind of competitive advantage, the momentum for green energy will increase,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flight to quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The hotels\u2019 success highlights the importance of adapting to changing market conditions. Hitesh notes that the hospitality industry has faced numerous challenges over the past few years, including the Covid-19 pandemic and economic uncertainty. However, by focusing on sustainability and quality, the hotels were able to differentiate themselves from competitors and attract customers even during challenging times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hitesh adds that by reducing waste and emissions, the hotels are helping to protect natural resources and reduce their contribution to climate change. He now believes that businesses have a responsibility to prioritise sustainability and reduce their impact on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darren Billinge agrees: \u201cIf the UK\u2019s 5.5 million SMEs act now, the potential is huge. Saving money whilst being more sustainable is a clear benefit so we\u2019re really glad the Green Buildings Tool could help Hitesh\u2019s business in this respect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SME ecosystem can look to the Kegworth and Queensgate hotels as a source of inspiration. Ultimately, \u201cit\u2019s about the numbers,\u201d Hitesh says. \u201cWe had a really successful year in 2022 and thanks to the green initiatives we implemented I expect 2023 to be similarly successful despite higher energy costs.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
