Is there a sustainable future for hotel development?

A thought leaders view on tourism development

We are amidst the emergence of a new type of travel, driven by a unique new class of travellers.
The conscious traveller; the experience collector; the eco-adventurer.
The guests of the future.
Those who care more deeply about the planet, and understand the importance of time well spent.

How will this shift in travel alter the typical way in which tourism products are developed?

The Mantis brand understands this travel space and specialises in curating and presenting products that allow for a more authentic experience for the guest.

Despite a challenging first half of the year for not only Mantis, but for all players in the hospitality industry, Mantis has been fortunate to have engaged and partnered with a handful of incredible new eco-lodges. Feline Fields by Mantis in Botswana; a boutique and luxurious take on the safari experience. August 7th, 2021, Siringit Migration Camp by Mantis welcomed their first guests, and a team has just arrived in Cape Verde preparing to open doors later this year.

Aligning with like-minded partner

“Mantis and Accor have been partners for over 2 years now. With the eco-credentials of Mantis and the might of one of the largest hotel groups in the world, Accor, we want to redefine eco-tourism. As we emerge from this crisis, travellers will be craving health-enhancing experiences, restorative immersions in nature, remote escapes for quality time away with their nearest and dearest. Travellers will want to travel with a purpose more so than ever before. Mantis live by their acronym “Man and Nature Together is Sustainable” and have done so for the past 20 years, and so we’re hoping to encourage more guests to travel with us in the years to come”, commented Mantis’ Chairman, Adrian Gardiner.

Coupled with this shift, an opportunity is now present for independently owned eco lodges and boutique luxury hotels to align with larger hotel groups like Mantis and Accor. Benefits of these types of partnerships assist hotel owners in unlocking new clients and opportunities via global distribution networks and loyalty programs,

As owners and operators of properties within the Mantis Collection, we understand the value an owner places on every element of their business. In today’s particularly tough business environment, owners have limited choices for support in critical management areas.

Mantis management and franchise partnership offerings

Mantis offers owners full hotel management services with operational support, financial expertise and commercial services, and an alternative “lightweight” franchise model that unlocks Accor’s international distribution and loyalty program, ALL – Accor Live Limitless. Through the Accor partnership Mantis has the ability to generate increased sales, broaden presence in new markets, and offer management expertise to its collection of properties.
Our key differentiators accelerate our reputation and success in the market – ‘’We are one of the only international hospitality brands in the boutique eco-space, with the ability to offer a global distribution and a loyalty platform. Partnering with a hotel operator like Mantis ensures sustainable market entry into a very new hospitality industry’’ commented Adrian.

Mantis looks forward to the future of travel; where the guest experience truly is brought to the forefront.
