Starting with hotel amenities may be the beginning, but Albogroup believes in the future. Here is the evidence of real change.
Benefits of booking in sustainable hotels
The traveller’s instinct leads him to discover the unknown place. The reality, unfortunately, shows a welcome that is more and more akin to standards and much less to the reality of places. This is one of the reasons for booking in sustainable structures.
Low-impact living means embracing local reality, therefore, visiting it. The sustainable traveller adapts to local customs, brings accessible wealth to communities and real benefit. The return also concerns infrastructures that are developed in a dimension compatible with the territories.
The reality of a green trip educates the traveller to a more environmentally friendly holiday style, introducing the habits of recycling resources and preserving them. Choosing sustainable accommodation helps to appreciate food and local produce. Travelling green contributes to improving places for the pleasure of finding them intact.
Solid soaps and shampoos for sustainable accommodation
Hotel amenities are the pleasure of the guest but also a potential danger to ecosystems; there is no hiding the role of hotel cosmetics in altering the balance of nature in some corners of paradise. Albogroup is committed to reducing the impact of cosmetics.
Research and strong partnerships have strengthened contract manufacturing, introducing customised quality options. The solid proposal stems from the study of formulations based on natural oils, capable of fulfilling their role in a way that respects the person and the environment in which they live.
The result is Solid.O Original, the line that revolutionises cosmetic habits in an ecological way. Shower baths, shampoos and hair conditioners, hair removal and shaving creams, make-up products and intimate cleansers start with the solid formula to offer a more environmentally friendly alternative. Technology and research are the basis of environmentally friendly cosmetics.
The characteristics of eco-friendly hotels
Even the type of construction can orient the structure towards a greener reception. Advanced technologies and local traditions meet in the search for solutions with modern performance but low environmental impact. The result is complexes with totally unexpected living performance.
In addition to the choice of materials, there are design tricks for saving water and energy resources. Showers that optimise the water jet, active water recycling for the reuse of grey water, but also automations in the electrical components are tricks that hotels can use in an increasingly green dimension.
Besides the technical aspects, there is the climate of respect. Living a green reception means avoiding the use of air conditioners, for example, but preferring alternative air conditioning methods. The use of renewable energy sources and reducing the carbon footprint are other important aspects. Micro-mobility relies on electric vehicles and, why not, the evergreen bicycle.

Eco-friendly hotels: why travellers prefer green hospitality
The figures speak for themselves. Whether for business or pleasure, 57% of travellers are interested in staying in a green environment. The increasing accessibility of flights and the low-cost revolution have introduced a concept of large-scale tourism that is useful but equally impactful on the environment.
The desire stems from a realisation of the need for change, hospitality is open to all but can help maintain places. The underlying need is to keep environments intact, preserving them from the impactful aspects of mass tourism. Green hospitality offers a compromise based on respect.
Staying green means experiencing places in a truer way. Low-impact facilities prefer local products and favour zero-kilometre production. The green traveller prefers quality to quantity, because a little extra care is good for everyone.
Future challenges and opportunities for sustainable hotels
There is a sharp distinction to be made between those who travel to visit and those who prefer to experience places. If the former seeks comfort at all costs, the latter is not afraid to give up some comforts. The challenge of reception lies in bringing the two ways together in a new dimension of hospitality.
The use of today’s technologies allows for a drastic reduction in the footprint that hotels have towards the environment, the current challenge is to adapt styles to a management with an ever smaller impact. A real revolution in hospitality culture is needed.
The near future looks towards the introduction of a single certification for green hospitality. Adapting traditional receptivity is a challenge that may seem daunting, but it can also start with changing the details. Moving towards the green formula means increasing the quality of service, a choice that the customer knows how to recognise and appreciate.
Albogroup is strongly committed to driving change in the hospitality industry, focusing decisively on an eco-sustainable vision. Starting with a revolution in hotel amenities, such as solid soaps and shampoos, to the adoption of green building and management practices, we aim to redefine the concept of luxury and comfort in a sustainable way.
Our mission is to offer an alternative, to educate and inspire travellers to make conscious choices that foster conservation and respect for the places they visit.
