• Economic – the activity does not simply begin and then rapidly die because of bad business practices; it continues to contribute to the economic well-being of the local community. A sustainable Hotel benefit its owners, its employees, and its neighbors. When we take these three aspects into account in our activities, this is called the “triple bottom line”. Sometimes it is referred to as “doing well by doing good.” It means running a business, an organization, or a government in such a way that it doesn't destroy the resources – natural, cultural, or economic – on which it depends. In fact, a hotel that is run in this way can enhance all three aspects.
