Weeva is a digital system that makes operational efficiency and resilience more accessible and achievable. Framed on The Long Run’s 4C framework, (Conservation, Culture, Community and Commerce), Weeva enables independent hotels, lodges, BnBs, and other hospitality providers to monitor, manage, and improve their holistic business performance through a comprehensive suite of digital tools, educational guides, tasks and processes that the whole team can get involved in, from HR to housekeeping.
Data-led storytelling helps avoid the greenwash and spotlights responsible tourism as a force for good. Weeva aims to be disruptive, inclusive and affordable – making data-led sustainability and reporting accessible to all. When used consistently, Weeva can save hotels and lodges time, money and resources, assist with meeting certification requirements (say goodbye to endless excel sheets) – and ultimately help protect people and the planet.
Weeva licences start from just $750 per annum for small properties – less than the cost of hiring a sustainability officer for one day. ATTA members qualify for a substantial discount off the annual cost of using Weeva, and are able to apply for a free Weeva license for their NGO partner, to support world class monitoring and reporting of these great initiatives. A product demo and free 21-day trial are available on weeva.earth.
