Ever-increasing pressure from regulation and legislation, from the predicted increase in tax burden due to climate change, from the instability in energy supply, and fluctuating energy prices, and the expanding environmental awareness of customers, are issues inducing more and more organisations to reconsider their operating procedures and ensure they are using best-practice.
For hotels and other providers of residential accommodation, these mounting pressures are squeezing the bottom-line by driving-up Operating Expenses. However, this refocusing of attention also provides an opportunity for providers to select programmes designed to restrain or even prevent increases in Operating Expenses, and for those organisations with fixed or restricted revenue lines, adopting such programmes can provide a means of maximising resources and staying one step ahead of the competition.
