A new US study suggests an increasing number of business travellers are keen to stay at green hotels, Smart Company reports.
The Deloitte study found 34 per cent of travelling professionals said they actively looked for hotels that implemented green initiatives, such as recycling and energy efficient lighting.
In an encouraging sign for the hospitality industry, 28 per cent of travellers said they were prepared to pay more for green accommodation options.
The study also looked at the sustainability-related habits of travellers.
Surprisingly, the researchers claim younger professionals are less inclined to turn off the air conditioning when they leave their room or request for bedding and towels not to be changed.
I think this post is brilliant. Being green is just so important and although on stressful business trips being green might be the last thing on you mind these changes to your routine can be made and you are making a difference. Great stuff! -Yolanda
