  • Business Travel, Hotels, and Environmental Sustainability
    BUSINESS TRAVEL, HOTELS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY An exploration of business travellers’ environment-related practices at the travel destination Wouter Geerts Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of London 2014 Department of Geography Royal Holloway, University of London DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Wouter Geerts, hereby declare that this thesis and the empirical work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: -2- ABSTRACT This thesis explores what evidence there is that business travellers engage in environment- related practices (ERP) when they are at their travel destination, and evaluates what scope there is to expand the uptake of pro-environmental practices. Research at the intersection between environmental behaviour and flying has been undertaken before, but to my knowledge no published research has covered the practices of business travellers at the destination (in situ practices). The opportunities for business travellers to make pro- environmental choices, but also the influence of corporate and hotel structures on these choices, deserves further investigation. To better understand business travellers’ in situ practices, empirical research was undertaken in London, UK, with three groups of stakeholders that are involved in business travel, namely hotel managers, individual business travellers, and to a lesser extent their employers. This source triangulation allowed for an understanding of in situ practices from the perspective of different integral actors, and enhanced the research’s reliability and rigour. Interviews were carried out with 34 business travellers, 22 London hotel managers and 4 company representatives, and business travellers were observed in hotel settings.

  • Marriott, Express and Thistle Hotels, Inverness
    Marriott, Express and Thistle Hotels, Inverness Background Inverness Hotels Association (IHA) is a group of 21 of the main hotels in Inverness including hotels from the world’s leading hotel groups – the Marriott, Thistle, Ramada Jarvis, Best Western and Express by Holiday Inn. As a group the IHA works together to enhance the hospitality and tourism industry in Inverness, both in terms of the guest experience and also on behalf of hotel employees. Why the need for work-based ESOL classes? Since 2005 the number of migrant worker employees from Eastern Europe has increased rapidly and, in the IHA's experience, the English language competence of more recent migrant worker recruits has dropped from the standard of earlier arrivals. According to the IHA migrant workers in hotels are typically employed in Housekeeping, Portering, Restaurants, Bars and Kitchens, and occasionally in Reception. Employees lacked confidence in interacting with guests, especially in the dining rooms. Managers and supervisors found that employees were not following instructions because they did not understand them. Stephen Gow, General Manager of the Thistle Hotel, Inverness and IHA Chairperson states, “If employees were to interact effectively with colleagues and guests it became clear that we would need to offer work-based English classes to improve migrant worker employees’ communication skills in the field of hospitality.” How did the Inverness hotels get started with work-based ESOL classes? The IHA approached a training consultant who put them in touch with the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA), Highland. The WEA runs a very successful English At Work Programme in Inverness where they can offer ESOL classes tailored to suit the needs of employers.
