Why “green” is important to
hotels
13. Hotels are increasingly embracing green practices as a way to set themselves apart, so it
only makes sense to see a portal emerge that aims to help eco-minded consumers find
them. GREENHOTELS.gr in fact, serves not only as a portal and booking engine promoting
eco-hotels in Greece, but it even scores those hotels on the “greenness” of their approach.
To be included in the GreenHotels network, hotels must have implemented operational
systems and methods that are eco-oriented and they must have applied principles of
environmental management. Eco-minded practices in use should target water savings,
waste reduction, energy footprint and locally sourced products, among other areas. Based
on their performance on those criteria, each hotel is given an overall score and classified as
a full-fledged “Eco Hotel” — the named used for those with the best scores — or as “Eco
Class” A, B or C. Prospective guests can then search the GreenHotels site by map, keyword
or the “greenness” level they're looking for. Once they find one they like, they can book
directly through the GreenHotels site.
GreenHotels is the brainchild of Greek mSolutions. Who will help environmentally conscious
travelers find like-minded hotels in other parts of the world...?
GreenHotels portal, ranks and books Eco Hotels in Greece
14. GreenHotels is the first network of Greek Eco Hotels. By the term
"Eco Hotels" we refer to those hotels which are committed to
environmental management and aim at:
• Water saving
• Waste reduction
• Establishing Recycling Policies
• Minimizing their Energy Footprint (ie the amount of carbon dioxide
which is emitted at the atmosphere by everyday activities that require
energy consumption)
• Offering Biological and Local products to their guests
• Using Renewable Energy Sources
• Building an Environmental Culture and communicating it to staff and
guests – CSR builds brand value
What is greenhotels
17. Green Classification
Hotel’s operation is based on widely accepted methods of environmental protection
and energy and natural resources saving. Nevertheless, hotel’s managers do not
communicate effectively their program neither to customers nor to their staff and/ or
methods that are being applied to, lag of effectiveness
Hotel’s managers are making a significant effort towards the protection of the
environment and energy and natural resources saving, by adopting significant practices
and methods for hotel’s operation. However, there is room for development and
optimization of their methods, so as the hotel to become more eco friendly and its
environmental policy to become widely known to hotel’s customers.
Hotel’s managers care enough about the protection of the environment and they have
adopted effective methods and practices that aim to energy and natural resources
saving. Moreover, hotel communicates and promotes the idea of environmental
management to its customers so as to prompt them to adopt similar tactics and
methods not only during their staying but also in their daily life.
Hotel is being characterized as an Eco Hotel. It operates with full awareness of the
impact that the operation of a hotel has on the environment. According to its size and
its capacity, it implements methods and practices that lead to maximum saving rates
of energy and natural resources. Moreover, it communicates and promotes the idea of
environmental management to its customers so as to prompt them to adopt similar
tactics and methods not only during their staying but also in their daily life. Hotel is
eco-certificated (EMAS, ISO 14001, ECO LABEL)
