The Green Lodging Trends Report (GLTR) is the leading global benchmarking study on sustainability best practices in hotels. Launched in 2016, the initiative seeks to assess and catalyze sustainability innovation and best practices and promote awareness of the state of sustainability across hotels worldwide. GLTR originally began as an annual exercise with reports published for three consecutive years from 2016 to 2018. After the 2018 report, GLTR shifted to a biennial exercise in order to capture trends over a two-year period.
Contributing Companies
This year, GLTR received data from about 20,000 hotels across 50 countries to deliver the latest insights on hotel sustainability best practices. The dataset was made possible due to the participation of companies including AMAN, Centara Hotels & Resorts, Chatham Lodging Trust, Deutsche Hospitality, Diamond Rock Hospitality, Four Seasons, Hilton Worldwide, Horwath HTL, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Marriott International, NH Hotels, Park Hotels & Resorts, Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, Radisson Hotel Group, Rosewood Hotel Group, Ryman Hospitality Properties, Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas, The Ascott Limited, and Xenia Hotels & Resorts.
Data Collection Methods
There were two data collection methods; direct participation by responding to the GLTR on Greenview Portal, our sustainability data management platform, or via bulk data set received from companies. We assessed 80 best practices in the 2024 GLTR, including hotel profiles (geographic location, service type, STR chain scale and hotel type). The hotel profiles enabled further data dissections by each of the breakdowns. The definition of each hotel segment is provided on the next page. By participating in the GLTR, hotels receive a confidential, bespoke benchmarking report that includes a comparison of performance against peers based on the data available per hotel profile. Participating hotels also stand a chance to be featured in the GLTR for outstanding sustainability best practices.
