  • 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.

It contains a brief history of the PSPA and its relevant planning policies, details of the various development sites and provides contacts where further information can be obtained. The PSPA is centred on Paddington Station and the Grand Union Canal Basin, and now contains recently completed mixed use developments and sites awaiting development. Together these make up the largest development area within Westminster and a site of strategic importance in London. There are major development and transport projects underway as well as new proposals being made for the area. The Special Policy Area status for Paddington was introduced by the City Council in 1988 in response to the need to recognise the impact on the area of considerable development pressure on a number of major sites. The PSPA is also recognised as an area of existing good public transport accessibility.

We hope that our‘Meeting the Challenges of Current Practice’ theme is both current and stimulating, providing innovative ideas on how to apply the evidence base in practice as we continuously strive to meet the changing needs of our cardiovascular populations. This year’s programme is even more action-packed than usual; with so many speakers keen to contribute, we have an earlier opening on Thursday to accommodate an extended keynote session. Aside from the main programme, we have our usual lunchtime symposia (this year sponsored by Astra Zeneca and Amgen) and an NACR workshop in our Thursday afternoon break. All of these sessions will be held in the main conference room (Great Western One). At your request, we have reverted to offering a buffet lunch this year, and have made our lunch breaks slightly longer, with only one symposium / workshop per break, to allow for more time to eat and network. Please also take the time to visit the posters and stands in the exhibitor area (Great Western Two), and our moderated poster session in the Red Star Room in the Thursday afternoon break. We received over 50 abstract submissions this year and look forward to showcasing many examples of project work within the field.

The recommendations contained in this document, which has been subject to consultation with amenity groups and developers, will be Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) and will also be a design guide for the area for other projects. The Public Realm Strategy deals with three zones within Paddington Waterside: public areas within development sites, the public highway and the canalside route. Throughout these three areas a contemporary style is proposed for Paddington Waterside, in keeping with the nature of the various developments that are already under construction. The Strategy recognises the need for development and change but, by specifying materials, furniture and lighting within the open spaces and public highway, seeks to create a particular style and character for the new quarter. The objective is to create and maintain an environment which has the following characteristics: • simplicity; • robustness; and • high quality. The importance of a rigorous management regime for the public realm is emphasised and the Strategy also seeks to promote the use of materials and equipment that will be easy to service and maintain and provide value and quality through consideration of “whole-life” Paddington Special Policy Area (Paddington Waterside) costing.
