“Faced with the climate emergency, decarbonization requires boldness and pragmatism” 🌱
Sponsored by Fabrice Bonnifet, Director of Sustainable Development & QSE at Bouygues Group, the latest edition of La Fabrique du Tourisme brought together around fifty hospitality professionals on the theme of the Positive Economy Hybrid Building. This morning event led to concrete and applicable proposals gathered in the 6th report.
Fabien Frigosi, Paris regional director of Bpifrance, Bertrand Pullès, associate CEO of EXTENDAM, and Vanguelis Panayotis, CEO of MKG Consulting, the founders of La Fabrique du Tourisme, explained: “This 6th report highlights the close link between environmental, social, and economic issues in hospitality. The cost of inaction will be higher than that of action. La Fabrique du Tourisme represents a unique space of exchanges to address shifts in a comprehensive and transversal way“.
While wasted heat represents four times the global solar energy production, the French cloud company Tresorio recycles the heat emitted by its servers to heat buildings’ water. Created in 2016, this technology targets both companies and individuals.
How does it work? Water passes through copper blocks in contact with computer chips. This water comes out hot and is reused in boilers. By recycling this energy, Tresorio aims to make digital technology more inclusive and useful in daily life. Jonathan Klein, co-founder of Tresorio, explains: “If we recycled all the heat from French data centers, we could supply the equivalent of 4 billion showers per year, or 6 months of showers for the French population“.

While buying a hotel is not within everyone’s reach, various forms of collective ownership allow dedicating part of one’s savings to the hotel sector.
Jean-Marc Palhon, Chairman of EXTENDAM, specifies: “Hospitality is a full-fledged asset class in which it is possible to invest. The European territory lends itself well with an abundant active population and a dense transport infrastructure. It is also the most visited continent in the world. At the same time, the hotel industry suffers from a supply deficit and an aging stock, quite unsuitable for demand“.
