Transit-oriented developments on the rise in Asia Pacific – Colliers Transit-oriented developments (TODs) are becoming key to urban renewal and sustainability in the Asia Pacific, says Govinda Singh, Colliers’ Executive Director of Hotels, Leisure & Real Estate Advisory in Asia. Transit-oriented developments (TODs) are increasingly becoming an essential aspect of urban renewal and a key contributor to sustainability and real estate optimisation, according to a new report from Colliers. “Defined as a mix-use development close to high traffic transit points, and usually offering a mix of residential, retail, office, and open space amid a walkable environment, successful TODs often promote increased public transit usage and can help alleviate urban sprawl by increasing the variety and density of amenities available through carefully curated land use,” Govinda Singh, Colliers’ Executive Director of Hotels, Leisure & Real Estate Advisory in Asia, said.

Preserving Paradise: The Crucial Role of Ecological Balance in Hotel Construction In the pursuit of creating luxurious retreats amidst nature's bounty, the importance of maintaining ecological balance cannot be overstated. Building a hotel in a natural surrounding requires a delicate dance between human comfort and environmental preservation. First and foremost, respecting the local ecosystem ensures the survival of diverse flora and fauna. By conducting thorough environmental impact assessments, hotel developers can identify and mitigate potential harm to native species. This proactive approach prevents the disruption of breeding grounds, migration routes, and feeding habitats, safeguarding the delicate balance that sustains the local ecosystem. Furthermore, incorporating sustainable construction practices minimizes the ecological footprint. Using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient technologies not only reduces the immediate impact of hotel construction but also ensures long-term sustainability. Harnessing renewable energy sources and implementing water conservation measures are essential steps in maintaining the delicate equilibrium of the natural environment. Preserving scenic landscapes is equally vital. Thoughtful architecture and strategic positioning of hotel structures can minimize visual disruption and seamlessly integrate with the surroundings. This not only enhances the guest experience but also contributes to the preservation of the natural beauty that attracts visitors in the first place. Engaging with local communities is a key aspect of ecological balance. Collaboration with indigenous people and nearby residents ensures that the hotel project aligns with the cultural and environmental values of the region. Additionally, involving the local community in conservation efforts fosters a sense of shared responsibility and encourages sustainable practices beyond the hotel premises. In conclusion, the importance of maintaining ecological balance when building a hotel in a natural setting cannot be underestimated. It extends far beyond regulatory compliance. It is an ethical imperative and a strategic investment in the longevity of the destination's appeal. By prioritizing environmental preservation, hotels can coexist harmoniously with nature, offering guests an immersive and sustainable experience while safeguarding the precious ecosystems that make these locations unique. #NaturePreservation #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendlyDesign #EnvironmentalConservation #ResponsibleTourism #BiodiversityProtection #NaturalLuxury #GreenConstruction #EcoArchitecture #CommunityEngagement #WildlifeProtection #ConservationEthics #SustainableTravel #LocalEcosystem #GreenHotels #NatureInspiredDesign #CulturalHeritageConservation #EcoTourismDevelopment

“Sustainability has always been integral to the DNA that makes up our brand, the thread woven throughout all our hotels. We believe that prioritizing sustainability and leading with nature does not mean having to sacrifice design, functionality, or luxury.” -Raul Leal, CEO of SH Hotels & Resorts “We're thrilled to share that our 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay has become LEED Certified! From biophilic elements to green roofs, water conservation, and salvaging 144 tons of construction material, we've reduced our carbon footprint significantly prioritizing the planet every step of the way. This is a proud moment for our team, and we're inspired to continue our mission towards a greener tomorrow!” - 1 Hotels. Did you know…The fast furniture industry contributes to 9 million tons of furniture tossed every single year. That's 5% of EVERYTHING in landfills (via EPA estimates). Every single piece of furniture saved from the landfill helps create a more sustainable furniture ecosystem. For hotel owners and management companies, cost is always the #1 factor in adding sustainability into the hotel. However, being green doesn’t automatically mean incurring more costs. It could reverse additional spending in the long-term for hoteliers. “There should be no added cost – in 2 decades of working with hotels on environmental sustainability I have never found a hotel that spent more than they saved – even with large capital investment projects as the savings paid for the investment. We need to constantly highlight that Being Green does not mean higher costs. In fact, Being Green could mean lower costs!”  -Maurice Bergin, Managing Director at Green Hospitality i.e.   Hoteliers, when you are considering a guestroom refresh, whether a PIP, 7-year soft goods renovation or Capex full renovation, first consider the sustainable choice to fully refinish your existing FF&E.
