Hotels have been going extra mile for the benefit of the environment. Several are using solar and geothermal energy and biomass heating technologies for operational requirements. Small-scale farm-to-table food programs are also catching the interest of many players. The growing recognition among the tourists for reducing their carbon footprint has made the aforementioned things a criteria for selection of hotels. Green hotels have gained popularity among genext travelers. Hi Hotel, based in France, has been accredited with Green Globe certification for using recycled paper, organic paint, eco-friendly cleaning products and organic food. The hotel has moved its focus from conventional luxury towards contemporary living and changing up ordinary spatial structures. Similarly, Hix Island House in Puerto Rico runs on batteries charged by solar power. It also recycles rainwater and is designed to catch cooling winds and return grey water (a relatively clean waste water) to the environment. Such sustainability measures adopted by the hotels are attracting tourists along with creating operational efficiency.

The governing bodies of many regions are also paying special attention to environmental friendly nature of accommodation providers. The European Union has set strict minimum standards with regard to environmental performance and health standards to achieve EU Ecolabel. All these accreditations prominently impact the decision of the tourists.

“Green Hotels – An Attractive Concept! Awareness regarding environment friendly aspect is creating a demand for hotels operating on green models and is expected to drive the growth.
