What is a “Green Hotel?”
Environment friendly properties taking initiative to implement practices that reduce energy and water usage are known as “Green Hotels”.
Various programs that Green Hotels are participating in include:
Recycling programs,
Linen changing programs, and
Energy efficient lighting.
Why should Hotels go green?
As many hotels are appreciating or rather implementing the concept of going Green, it is important that everybody joins the team. Hotels use enormous amount of energy and so it becomes mandatory that hotels go for environmental friendly practices that conserve water and energy and reduce waste reduction.
