Abstract

Santika, Antara & Harmini (2013) study shows that descriptive and reciprocative messages cannot significantly increase hotel guests participation in a more-than-a-day linen use program. We predict that it is because of the explicit consent approach that we chose to the wording of the messages. The default of the messages is that every guest gets the linen changed everyday and if a guest concerns about the environment she/he can order to get the linen changed every other day. The present study aims at finding the role of a presumed consent default in increasing hotel guests participation in the linen reuse program. In the presumed consent approach, the default is that guests get their linen changed every other day and they can order to get it changed everyday. A natural field experiment was conducted in which linen reuse participation was observed in more than 240 rooms of a five-star hotel in Indonesia that applies the presumed consent default. Participation was observed in every occupied room for a month. Result shows that participation in the linen reuse program is 97.8% at the hotel applying the presumed consent default. It is a very large increase compared to the 2.7% participation at the hotel applying the explicit consent default found in the previous study.
