Greening Hotels: "For Bottom Line and For Health"
For Bottom Line
The Green Hotels Association, founded to encourage, support and
promote ecological consciousness in the hospitality industry, states
its members are reporting they are better prepared for economic
downturn because of conservation measures.
"Our member hotels are reporting the impact of reduced
revenues has been less severe because of the hundreds of
conservation measures they have initiated… Their planning has better
prepared them to weather this economic downturn."
- Patricia Griffin, President, Green Hotels Association
"I went into this with the belief that if one customer said they
didn't like it I would stop it, because we’re very sensitive about
perceptions of cleanliness. To my amazement, I haven’t had one
complaint in more than four months…70 percent of people staying more
than one night participate in the program."
- George Parsons, General Manager for Radisson Hotel Arrowwood
Resort
For Health
- Studies show that airborne and surface dust, microbiological
pollutants and chemicals in cleaning products have an adverse health
effect.
- An occupational asthma monitoring program active in four
different states reported that cleaning chemicals and poor indoor
air quality are the two leading causes of new asthma onsets and
aggravation of existing asthma.
