Accentuate the Positive - the latest eco hotel industry news, delivered fresh to your inbox!

The global recession has cast a long and frightening shadow over commerce worldwide for months now, and the hospitality industry has certainly taken a hard hit. Hotel data collection and analysis firm STR Global reported last week that occupancy rates, average daily rates and RevPAR throughout the Americas continued to drop across the board in April, with only a handful of exceptions. 

But despite the dismal data, there is still plenty of good news coming out of the hospitality industry – especially on the green lodging front.  Here at EcoGreenHotel, we’ve collected as much of that good news as we can find, and we’re passing it on to you with the sincere hope that it will inspire you and your green team to stay positive and focused despite the gloomy statistics.   

For example, inside this month’s EcoGreenHotel newsletter, you’ll hear good news about the following:

•        Recession proof eco-events - Five tips for boosting your green hotel’s meeting, wedding and convention bookings despite the tough economy. 

•        A major hotel brand that has pledged to have all its buildings meet LEED standards.  If they can do it, you can too!

•        A hospitality advertising firm that has created an effective, affordable strategy for marketing your eco hotel.

•        A statewide green lodging program that is making a huge difference in some of the world’s most ecologically-sensitive regions.

•        A fun product that will not only make your guests smile, but will also help them conserve water while staying at your green hotel.

•        A space-age water recycling system that will make you applaud or gag – or both!

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!
