Hi, I’m Felicity
Sustainable Hosts has been set up by top-ranking short-term rental host Felicity Stevens. Her home is set up to create minimal emissions and waste without compromising comfort or style. Her guests love her approach and keep coming back. And they want to find more places like this to stay.
Sustainable Hosts is designed to help your business to benefit by showing you how to reduce emissions and waste and attract the growing market of sustainable travellers.
With many guests commenting favourably upon the efforts that she has taken to set up her listing to be as sustainable as possible Felicity, knows there is a market for guests who are conscious of the emissions and waste they create when they travel. They want to keep travelling, but they want to do it as sustainably as possible. And they’re looking for places to stay that help them do that.
Tourism trends confirm a rise in travellers who are looking for businesses that are taking meaningful steps to be more sustainable. Many STR owners would like to attract this type of guest but don’t know where to start. After talking to many hosts, it became clear that they don’t know what they can do themselves, where to find assistance and valid information about rebates and how to communicate their actions to guests. Felicity is committed to helping you find practical and cost-effective ways to run your business more sustainably and attract these guests.
This website is designed to help you understand the impact of how you run your business and guide you through the steps to make meaningful changes. We share practical, real-life examples of actions hosts are taking and how to let guests know what you’re doing. We are an online community where hosts can ask questions, share feedback and read about the latest trends, products, and rebates in the marketplace.
Over the years, Felicity has worked in the circular economy and has been involved in many community initiatives to help lower emissions and waste. She knows first-hand that you can’t do everything all at once, but you’ll probably be surprised at what simple things you can pretty easily do and the positive feedback you get!
Many different types of businesses around the world are taking steps to reduce the emissions and waste they create and consumers are increasingly spending money to support them. Now is a great time to get on board and start making changes to your listing and start reaping the benefits.
