We are welcoming today Anthony Wong, owner of the Frangipani Langkawi Hotel, greenest hotel of Malaysia.

With his 40 years of experience in the hotel business, he will explain to you the steps he has undertaken to make the Frangipani a powerhouse. He teaches that sustainability saves money what it has brought his business.

When you hear « sustainability », what are the things that come to your mind? Is it effort? Is it high technology? Is it not for me?

But could it actually mean saving money, return on investment and profit?

Not only is his hotel saving huge amounts of money thanks to the more than 200 sustainability measures he has implemented, but travellers now book his hotel because of them.

Sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing guest experience. It means improving it. Sustainability doesn’t mean costly investments, it means intelligently reducing costs.

During this interview, Anthony Wong will help you understand the easy things you can do to make your hotel more sustainable, giving you tried and true best practices that will, in a short amount of time, prove extremely profitable.

Sustainability is tourism’s future, and it can start with you.
