At USA Travel Guide we’re committed to the sustainability and prosperity of the American hospitality, travel and tourism industries. Critical to this goal is the support of hotels, resorts and attractions that have embraced green initiatives at any scale, and we hope to highlight example-setters on a regular basis.
That’s why we couldn’t be happier to see that Holiday Inn Orlando Hotel – International Drive is going green. Not only has the property officially become a “Green Certified Hotel” under the regulation of the Florida Green Lodging Program (more about that here), it has enacted extensive recycling, water conservation and energy conservation efforts. It’s even in the process of debuting all-organic catering menus. Awesome!
One important misconception to field about green lodging is that it’s purely some philanthropic, ethical endeavor (though it’s that, too). Truth is, green hotels make more money in the long run because their practices are not as adversely affected by world events. In addition, several green hotels working in tandem can boost the travel prestige of a given destination, resulting in increased traffic and revenue at that destination. Better for the planet, better for the hotels – this is the very definition of a win-win.
And this isn’t something that’s going away. This will only grow truer and truer as the months and years pass.
We salute the Holiday Inn Orlando Hotel – International Drive and can only hope the other hotels in Orlando, Florida follow suit.
