Welcome to Considerate Hoteliers
Considerate Hoteliers is an association of like-minded hoteliers who encourage, assist, motivate and cajole fellow hoteliers to adopt sound and sustainable environmentally friendly and socially responsible policies and practices. We do this through a network of member hotels and by providing events, advice and information for members on environmental and sustainability issues. Each year we also encourage and recognise excellence in the industry through our awards, which are open to all.
Membership is open to hotels and guest houses, from the smallest to the largest and across the grading bands, nationwide, which are committed to the Association's Mission Statement and Environmental Charter and conform to it. See what Considerate Hoteliers can do to improve your business!
