Homegrown Runiti is set to make a significant shift within the travel industry as the first green, sustainable homestay and budget hotel marketplace. The brand which launched recently, stressed on the importance of sustainability as a factor in their business practices and its effects on a society that is desperately looking to reverse and mitigate global warming fuelled by climate change. Runiti went on to state that it is now a matter of necessity for all industries to collaborate in achieving this goal, working collectively towards creating a safer, more secure future for all.
As a single brand homestay and budget hotel accommodation platform launched for all relevant global providers so they may not only feature their services, but also offer an expansive selection of options improving visibility for themselves, Runiti is a trailblazer in its own right. Under the patronage of CEO Pradeep Siriwardena, the company will be offering carefully curated homestay experiences for travellers from all walks of life. The homestay and budget hotel suppliers featured on the platform will be subject to satisfying a set of stipulated criteria in order to pass Runiti’s stringent quality checks, thereby in turn assuring peace of mind for all their customers.
Some of the traits their accommodation options will consist of include competitive rates, free cancellation, zero-carbon rooms, real-time confirmation, security, enhanced flexibility and the ability to pay at the accommodation. Runiti is looking to effectively expand the market with a suitable, alternate accommodation options to hotels, where affordability, safety and experience are of paramount prominence, and will therefore go the extra mile to thoroughly vet their providers at all times. With homestay and budget hotels now a core part of the hospitality industry, demand for reliability is higher than ever. Additionally, travellers are now actively looking for accommodation that stretches beyond the conventional hotel and villa, as they hope to be more involved with culture and tradition which homestay provides.
All efforts at Runiti are consistently supported with a consciousness for the environment, including making sure all rooms offset carbon footprint. With one of their four principles and founding values consisting of sustainability, it is a mandatory requirement; one they hope to nurture and elevate in time to come. Runiti will also help their clients set change in motion, by promoting more conscientious behaviour whilst travelling, as they look towards building a more promising and inclusive planet for all.
Runiti.com CEO and Founder Pradeep Siriwardane added that, “Environmental consciousness is a critical subject today, one that’s been ignored for far too long. It’s certainly been encouraging to see the wave of change that’s been around in the recent past, mobilised by governments and other institutions, state or otherwise, in rectifying the damage caused so far, and preventing more. However, it’s still not nearly enough, and as a cause that’s personally close to me, I wanted Runiti to reflect its significance as well. As a global homestay and budget hotel platform, we hope to carry this message as far and wide as possible, creating a new era within the travel industry as the first green, and sustainable homestay and budget hotel provider. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step as they say, and we’re heading in the right direction.”
