Eco-Friendly Travel: How HOM-AWAY Supports Sustainable Tourism

Why Sustainable Tourism Matters More Than Ever

Tourism contributes nearly 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. From flights and transportation to energy-hungry hotels, travel can take a toll on the environment. But it doesn't have to be that way. Sustainable tourism aims to reduce this impact—focusing on conserving natural resources, minimizing waste, and empowering local communities.

And travelers are paying attention. Studies show that 81% of global travelers want to stay in sustainable accommodations. But what does that really look like?

That's where HOM-AWAY comes in.

By furnishing homes with local materials and collaborating with neighborhood vendors, the company minimizes its carbon footprint while strengthening Dubai's local economy.

Educating and Empowering Guests

Eco-conscious travel isn't just about providing the tools—it's also about guiding guests to make mindful choices.

HOM-AWAY includes sustainability tips in every digital welcome kit, empowering guests to:

• Switch off AC and lights when not in use
• Use reusable water bottles provided in each rental
• Sort and recycle waste using clearly labeled bins
• Support local businesses and experiences
• Opt for walking, cycling, or public transport when exploring the city

These small, everyday actions can make a big difference—especially when multiplied across hundreds of stays each month.

Why More Homeowners Are Going Green

Dubai's real estate market is booming, and more property owners are turning to short-term rentals for passive income. But with competition rising, having a green edge makes your listing stand out.

HOM-AWAY helps homeowners transform their properties into eco-friendly stays through:
