Sit… Stay… Read! - the latest eco hotel industry news, delivered fresh to your inbox!

Fall is probably my favorite time of the year.  I welcome the first crisp autumn day after a long hot summer… the first fluttering orange leaf to drop from the maple tree on the corner… and the first bus full of happy-go-lucky school kids to pass me on their way to a Friday night football game. 

I also welcome the chance to tell all our loyal subscribers about some of the outstanding people, proactive facilities and quality products we’ve discovered in our unending quest for the best-of-the-best in the eco hospitality industry. 

Check out this month’s newsletter to learn more about: 

• An impressive lineup of incentives for New Jersey hoteliers to implement new green projects.  The more money your hotel saves from its eco initiatives, the more money the state gives you.  How cool is that? 

• A directory of 100% smoke-free properties.  With the vast majority of hotel guests saying they strongly prefer staying in smoke-free hotels, can your property afford not to be in this directory?

• A breathtaking Caribbean hotel that combines old world charm with modern environmental sensitivity.  No wonder it’s a celebrity favorite!

• A new EcoGreenHotel partner who just keeps coming up with one great idea after another to help you make your eco hotel the best it can be. Links to three of his coolest ideas are included in this feature!

• A simple-to-operate machine that can cut your green hotel’s waste disposal by more than half a ton a day and convert it into water.  And no, I’m not making that up.

Does your green hotel have some good news to share?  We’d love to include it in our monthly newsletter, which is distributed to thousands of subscribers worldwide.  Drop us a line at info@EcoGreenHotel.com and tell us about it, and we may highlight it in an upcoming issue!

Free Environmental Audits Uncover Major Funding Opportunities for U.S. Hotels to Go Green

After decades working in the hospitality industry, I’ve seen many trends come and go. But a few years ago when climate change really started to come into focus and people began talking about ways to create a sustainable hospitality industry, I knew that eco-hospitality was not going to be just another passing fad.  It was here to stay, and rightfully so.

And these days, with all the attention being paid to the environmental and economic benefits of cutting energy consumption, it’s a rare hotelier who has not at least considered implementing a sustainability initiative at his or her property. But many never get beyond the wishful thinking stage, because the process can seem so daunting – and expensive.

EcoGreenHotel Store to Open Soon: One-stop shop for sustainable hospitality products at discount prices

Having served in the hospitality industry, I know how difficult it can be to source quality products for hotels.  Now that I work to support green hospitality through my company, EcoGreenHotel, I recognize that it is doubly hard to quickly and easily find sustainable hotel products that not only work, but also won’t break the bank. 

That’s why I am pleased to announce that help is on the way.  My partners, staff and I are busy putting the finishing touches on our new, super convenient online shop, the EcoGreenHotel Store, which will be fully stocked and open for business in the very near future. 

Our vision for the EcoGreenHotel Store is simple.  We want it to be the go-to source for quality, affordable eco hotel products. To achieve that aim, we have partnered with some strategic partners that support hospitality sustainability including DeBlauw Purchasing, DeBlauw is a full service purchasing company for the hospitality industry specializing in new construction hotels, as well as complete renovations and upgrades.
