How to find an eco-friendly hotel
Posted on 20. Jul, 2009 by admin in Green Business
Looking to take a greener vacation this summer?
Now, more and more hotels are taking an increasingly holistic approach to sustainability, says Brian Mullis, president of Sustainable Travel International, a non-profit organization that promotes eco-friendly travel.
Here are a couple of tips on how you can find the right hotel:
Pay attention to advertising. If a hotel is proud of its commitment to sustainability, this should be clearly stated in its marketing materials. If the quantifiable effects of a hotel’s sustainability are listed, it’s a good sign that the hotel is serious about its green goals.
Ask questions. If a hotel’s conservation efforts are not spelled out, call and ask open-ended questions, such as, “What are you doing to support sustainable development?” This is something every hotel employee should know, from management to the front-desk staff.
