Recently, Intercontinental Hotels Group has also taken a step further on the path of environmental protection, announcing the gradual replacement of disposable small packaging toiletries in nearly 843000 rooms worldwide with more environmentally friendly large bottle hotel management companies. This transition will be completed by 2021.

From practicing "garbage classification" to the "cancellation of six small items" action by domestic hotels, it has spread like a spark to many places such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hainan, etc. For a while, environmental protection has become a hot topic in hotels.

For hotel enthusiasts, how can they satisfy the "collection addiction" in the current era of environmental protection?

Hotels must take the path of environmental protection

As Bai Siyuan, the global CEO of Intercontinental Hotels Group, said, it is more important than ever for businesses to challenge themselves and operate responsibly - we know that this is what our guests, homeowners, employees, investors, and suppliers all expect.

Environmental protection is a way for hotels to promote their own concepts, demonstrate a sense of social responsibility, and even reduce costs for hotels. This path, when hotels reach a certain stage of development, will eventually take its path.

It is reported that Intercontinental Hotels Group uses an average of about 200 million disposable small packaging toiletries in its global hotel operations every year. When the new brand standards are implemented, the hotel will significantly reduce the generation of plastic waste. This can also have a positive effect on achieving a circular economy and maintaining long-term use of materials for hotels.

Many star rated hotels, considering that consumers currently have the habit of using disposable daily necessities for free, are afraid to discontinue the supply of "six small items" due to concerns about customer loss. But in fact, for hotels, implementing environmental protection measures will not affect the willingness of most consumers.

The well-known hotel reservation platform Binke stated that there is a data showing that the booking volume of hotels that have joined the green and environmentally friendly category has not significantly decreased or increased, indicating that some of the hotel's environmental measures will not affect the customer service experience.

Who will satisfy the collection addiction of hotel control?

Last year's National Day, a news item sparked discussion.

A netizen posted a friend's circle, with multiple exquisite bottles and cans neatly arranged in the picture, piled up in a corner of the table. Upon closer inspection, it was the "six small items" such as shampoo and shower gel in the hotel. The caption reads: "I carried them back from the hotel. Every time I pick them up again, I will recall those happy journeys
