Iqela libone ithuba lokuphucula indlela ishishini lehotele linxibelelana ngayo neempembelelo zalo. Okwangoku, iindlela zokulinganisa kunye nokunika ingxelo malunga nokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni zahluka kakhulu. Oku kunokukhokelela ekubhidekeni phakathi kwabathengi, ngakumbi abathengi beenkampani, befuna ukuqonda i-carbon footprint yabo enokubakho kwaye bahlangabezane neenjongo zabo / iinjongo zabo kule ndawo. Ukongeza, inani leendlela kunye nezixhobo ezisetyenziswayo lenza ukuba kubenzima ukufikelela elubala lokunika ingxelo kushishino lweehotele.
IQela eliSebenzayo leHotele yeCarbon Measurement (HCMI), eliquka amalungu ehotele ngaphakathi kwe-ITP kunye WTTC, yasekwa ekuqaleni kowama-2011 ngesicelo seenkampani ezingamalungu ukuba ziyile indlela emanyeneyo esekelwe kwidatha ekhoyo ukuze kulungiswe ukungangqinelani kwiindlela zeenkampani zeehotele.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- IQela eliSebenzayo leHotele yeCarbon Measurement (HCMI), eliquka amalungu ehotele ngaphakathi kwe-ITP kunye WTTC, was formed in early 2011 at the request of member companies to devise a unified methodology based on available data to address inconsistencies in hotel companies' approaches.
- The priority for the Hotel Carbon Measurement Initiative moving forward will be to maximize the take up and recognition of the methodology by a broader range of hotels and their customers.
- The methodology, informed by the GHG Protocol Standards, was first developed in 2011 and has since been tested in hotels of different style and size in different geographical locations and refined through a stakeholder engagement process, with input from consultants KPMG.
