Interhome identifies sustainable holiday accommodation

On the Interhome Group websites, it is now possible to explicitly search for sustainable accommodation. The Swiss holiday home broker is thus reacting to the increasing demand for sustainable holiday homes and holiday homes.

The demand for sustainable holidays has increased in recent years. As a survey conducted last year by the University of Freiburg for Interhome Group shows, more and more guests are placing value on sustainable holiday accommodation. To take this development into account, the portfolio of the Swiss holiday rental agent can now be filtered for sustainable holiday apartments and holiday homes. "Sustainability is important to us. That is why we have subjected all holiday homes and holiday apartments to an appropriate check and marked the accommodations that meet our criteria for sustainability with their own symbol, a green tree," says Jörg Herrmann, Co-CEO of Interhome Group.

Holiday homes labelled as "sustainable accommodation" meet at least seven of the twelve sustainability criteria that are particularly important to Interhome Group in terms of environmental protection. These criteria include ecological heating, green electricity, solar cells or a photovoltaic system, an electric charging station, water-saving toilets and showers, recycling options, LED lighting, double-glazed windows, proximity to public transport. The most important criteria that each sustainable holiday home meets are listed in the description of the accommodation.

Interhome Group has set itself the goal of becoming the most sustainable provider of holiday accommodation in Europe. The holiday apartment agent therefore supports owners with structural measures that make accommodation more sustainable - be it the installation of a photovoltaic system or the construction of an e-charging station, for example. "Sustainable accommodation is becoming more and more important and the number of bookings for sustainable accommodation will be higher in the future than for holiday apartments or holiday homes that do not place any value on sustainability. It is therefore worthwhile for the owners as well as for us as a company to invest in sustainability activities," says Jörg Herrmann.
