Travel & Tourism forecast to pass $2 trillion GDP in
2012

Travel & Tourism is set for a milestone year as the

industry’s direct contribution to the global economy
is expected to pass $2 trillion in GDP and 100 million
jobs. According to research by the World Travel &
Tourism Council (WTTC), the global Travel & Tourism
industry will grow by 2.8% in 2012, marginally faster
than the global rate of economic growth, predicted
to be 2.5%.

This rate of growth means that Travel & Tourism

industry is expected to directly contribute $2 trillion
to the global economy and sustain some 100.3
million jobs. When the wider economic impacts of
the industry are taken into account, Travel & Tourism
is forecast to contribute some $6.5 trillion to the
global economy and generate 260 million jobs – or 1 David Scowsill
in 12 of all jobs on the planet. WTTC President & CEO
2011 closes stronger than expected for business travel with total business
travel spending up 8.3% for third quarter 2011.

2012 will continue to see more measured growth as economic headwinds

persist. GBTA forecasts that business travel spend will increase by 4.6%
in 2012.
The CMI Green Traveler Study 2010-11

The Green Traveler Study asked over 950 “eco-conscious” travelers

• How do they travel, and how much?

• What does “sustainable” or “green” travel mean to them?
• How environmentally conscious are their purchasing decisions when not traveling?
• What drives their interest in green travel options and destinations?
• Will they pay a premium for sustainable choices?
• Is there a gap between their intentions and their behavior?
• What do they expect from green travel brands?
•  How do they view green branding and messaging?
•  What gives them trust — or makes them skeptical?
• How deep is their commitment to green travel, and how far will they take it?
The CMI Green Traveler Study 2010-11

Key Finding #1:

Eco-Travelers Become Greener
Travelers were more eco-conscious, shopping locally, recycling more at home and at
work, buying recycled products, and avoiding unnecessary purchases.

More active steps towards a sustainable lifestyle increased — composting, going

vegetarian, bicycling or taking public transportation to work. Overall behavior and
spending was 5-17% more environmentally friendly than 2009 respondents.

5% more respondents acted on their environmental concerns while traveling.

85% turned off the lights when they left the room
75% say they had recycled and used their towels and sheets more than once
7.5% increase in “researched and booked greener accommodations”
4% more offset the impact of their travel
5% whose environmental concerns impacted their discretionary travel style
8% increase would most likely go on a greener vacation within the next year.
The CMI Green Traveler Study 2010-11

Key Finding #2:

Low Tolerance for High Premiums – The Green Price Point 62% of respondents said
that they did not pay extra to stay at a “greener hotel” . And 87.3% of travelers
paid between 0 and 5%, which represents more than a 13% increase over 2009.

Is green getting cheaper?

Are green practices something customers don’t know they’re paying for?
Are economic conditions keeping travelers from acting on their green intentions?
Green is still not something customers will actually pay extra for today; they won’t
pay a “green tax.”

One thing is certain — price remains a central concern among travelers. Price was
ranked as the #1 criterion for choosing a hotel by more travelers than any other
factor, including the hotel’s environmental programs.
The CMI Green Traveler Study 2010-11

Key Finding #2:

Low Tolerance for High Premiums – The Green Price Point

Insight: Make green concrete. For most people, environmental sustainability is still a
relatively abstract concept — especially when compared to practical issues like price
and convenience.

LEED certification, carbon offsets and sustainable materials do not have the visceral
appeal of an ocean view or an Olympic-sized pool. Flipping those product attributes
into consumer benefits drive sales and justifying price premiums. Instead of talking
about LEED certification mention pure air, natural, non-toxic carpeting and healthy,
organic linens are creature comforts that could compel customers to pay a premium
for sustainability.

That said, numerous case studies across all tourism and hospitality segments show
enormous cost-saving benefits to green initiatives, and CMIGreen identified
operations as the place to find the ROI in green, not extra charges to consumers.
According  to  the  US  Green  Building  Council  buildings  in  the  US  
account  for:    

• 72%  of  electricity  consumpDon  

• 60%  of  total  non-­‐industrial  waste  
•40%  of  primary  energy  use    
•39%  of  CO2  emissions    
•13.6%  of  potable  water  consumpDon  

In  the  US  alone,  hotels  represent  more  than  5  billion  square  feet  of  space,  
nearly  5  million  guest  rooms,  and  close  to  $4  billion  in  annual  energy  use.

What  is  the  Standard  Defini<on  a  ‘Green’  or  ‘Sustainable’  Hotel?  
In  general  a  green  hotel  will:  
 
• Minimize  local  environmental  impact    through  the  use  of  new  technologies  to  use  
less  energy,  water  and  resources  than  tradiDonally  operated  counterparts.    
• Provide  direct  financial  benefits  for  the  building  owners  and  operators  (lower  
operaDonal  costs)  
•Build  environmental  and  cultural  awareness  (educate  consumers)  
•Provide  posiDve  experiences  for  both  guests  and  hosts.  
•Have  improved  indoor  air  quality    

The  hotel  will  be  operated  under  the  sustainability  

principals  of:  People,  Profit,  Planet  
According  to  the  US  Green  Building  Council  a  ‘Green’  or  
‘Sustainable’  Hotel  will:    

• Use  26%  Less  Energy  

• Emit  33%  Carbon  Dioxide    
•Use  30%  Less  Indoor  Water    
•Send  50%-­‐75%  Less  Solid  Waste  to  Landfills  and  Incinerators  
•Green  Buildings  can  also  encourage  the  use  of  alternaDve  transportaDon  
(walking,  mass  transit,  low-­‐emission,  fuel-­‐efficient  or  alternaDve  fuel  vehicles)

 Energy  Efficiency  Tax  Advantages  
Building Cost Audit – There are tax advantages that most investors find too confusing or
simply too time consuming to take advantage of. By engaging a specialized accounting firm
with engineering expertise you can qualify for significant tax deductions.

EPACT05 Energy Tax Deduction (requires independent certification of the

energy efficiency measures).

Cost Segregation – Properly determine depreciable life of building

components, maximizing current deductions.

Abandonment – Certain long term assets may be written off due to

renovation of the building, maximizing current deductions.
