1.3 Gtons
Each year, global tourism wastes more than 1.3 billion tonnes of food, 60% of which could be avoided through better planning.
9 %
The tourism industry is responsible for 9 percent of global CO2 emissions, with the majority coming from travel, energy waste, air conditioning and water waste in businesses.

Despite increasing efficiency, studies predict that energy consumption in tourism will double by 2040.
Together, let's make a difference for the planet and impress your guests beyond belief.
By supporting hotels to plan their resources, costs of goods and staff more efficiently, we're creating a sustainable future for the tourism industry.
Embark on a sustainable journey with us by actively participating in our CO2 tracking initiative. Your input plays a crucial role in our commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability.
We support hotels in four main areas.
Cost of goods
Adjustment of the use of goods to the actual preferences of the arriving guests. This allows food and merchandise planning to be tailored to demand.
Resources
Identifying actual needs and optimising the use of different resources. The assessment covers different areas of the hotel, such as recording the number of pillows and towels actually used, so that water, electricity and detergents are used sparingly. NeedNect also identifies potential savings in all departments, such as the expected use of spa facilities. This allows unneeded facilities to be closed or opened at a later time.
Staff
Anticipate staffing based on actual guest demand to avoid idle time. NeedNect acts as a simple guide for guest services and provides planning certainty for all departments. This reduces the workload for all staff as preparation activities can be better spread throughout the working day.
CO2 Tracking
Track the amount of CO2 you have saved through your demand management planning. The reporting tool helps you to report this data to government agencies.
Driving Global Impact: Our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Sustainability is at the heart of our mission, and we are committed to making a positive impact in the tourism industry. At NeedNect Solutions, we align our efforts with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to drive meaningful change in the hospitality industry.
