The accommodation sector contributes 20% to the overall tourism-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the major factor behind climate change.Most CO2 emissions from the sector are linked to energy consumption.

In Phuket, Thailand

, electricity costs are 11% of total operating costs, the 2nd largest operating cost for hotels.

Eco-maps are a

tool

for the visualization and identification of

problems

and

entry points

for improvement in your workplace.

They are used in a group setting and they help to get insights from people with different roles and backgrounds.

Eco-Maps

OrganizationSlide17

How to do it?

Choose problem area/theme to address (i.e. energy, water, waste, occupational health and safety,…)

Draw

crude outline of

workplace area on paper with key functions, machinery and facilities.

Decide your own symbols, i.e. Star = big problems, square =medium problem, round dot = small problem

Put one transparent sheet on top of your drawing

– (if you don’t have a transparent sheet, draw directly on the map)Look at the outline, think about problems

in respective

locations and mark them on the transparency using the symbols you chose

(You can replace the used sheet with a new

transparent & follow procedure for

a new

problem

area/theme).

After selecting the problems you want to address, you can start analyzing their causes, and finding solutions, for example using the Fishbone diagram

What is

Service Design

?

SERVICE DESIGN

is

the activity of planning and

organizing (“designing”) components of a service in

order to

improve

its quality and the interaction between service provider

&

customers.

To

understand the

behaviour

of the customers, their

needs

&

motivations.Slide39

© International Labour Organization (ILO)

SERVICE DESIGN: 5 PRINCIPLES

EVIDENCING

4

HOLISTIC

5

USER-CENTERED

1

Service is experience from a customer’s point of view.

CO-CREATIVE

2

The process of service design should consider different customer groups and different levels of employees and different interfaces (websites).

SEQUENCING

3

Service should be looked at as a timeline of actions, with three-step transitions: pre-service period, service period, and post-service period.

Often you can’t touch services. Make sure your guests notice the services you provide by increasing the perceive value and exceptionality of your service.

Look at the big picture. The process of service design should consider all aspect of the experience of guests staying at your hotel because it matters.
