 TripAdvisor Greenleaders have met a set of environmental
standards developed for TripAdvisor by a leading environmental
consulting firm, with input from expert partners. The more green
practices a hotel has in place, the higher its Greenleader level,
which is shown on the property's listing on the TripAdvisor site.
Highlights of the hotels green initiatives include the use of
non-toxic cleaning products, low-flow toilets. showerheads and sink
faucets, sensor switches to shut off lights in storage areas, the
public bath and supply rooms and new shower dispensers with shampoo,
conditioner and body wash to cut back on waste as well as a very
popular towel reuse program. The hotel has also installed sensors in
the guest rooms that regulate the room temperature when a guest is
not present. Upon guest entry, the sensors turn back the thermostat
to the guests chosen settings. Flower beds have had extra layers of
mulch added for extra chemical free weed control as well as water
conservation so plants require less watering.
"We are honored to be recognized by TripAdvisor as a GreenLeader for
both our conservation efforts and eco-friendly upgrades lo our
guestrooms," said Owner/General Manager Paresh Patel. "Hotel guests
who share our passion for being envimnmentally conscientious can
help us maintain the planet for future generations while they travel
as well as at home.”
Travelers can now search for accommodations that have a Greenleaders
status on the TripAdvisor site, and view a detailed list of
environmentally -friendly practices that they can expect at each
location.
"TripAdvisor Greenleaders are leading the hospitality industry in
making efforts to improve their environmental footprint," said Jenny
Rushmore, director of responsible travel at TripAdvisor. "We greatly
applaud these accommodations and are pleased to share their
eco-friendly practices with our online audience of more than 260
million travelers who visit the site each month."
The TripAdvisor Greenleaders program was developed in partnership
with the U S. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR'0
program, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the United Nations
Environment Program. For more information, please visit
