GREEN HOTELS AND RESORTS

We should be celebrating Earth Day every year, as green-minded, that is, eco-friendly people.

Hotels would be truly laudable as they participate in this meaningful event that seeks to protect Mother Nature.

The bamboo and palm fronds which can be used to build it can all be planted and harvested from the site.

A sustainable resort and the community, can definitely be your ordinary resort hotel.

An eco-friendly resort which can be among the best resort hotels which runs in 100 percent off-grid solar energy, the materials used to build the resort are the best in green technology, there is a comprehensive recycling and waste program and only natural and localized products are used for maintenance and cleaning.

When we built the hotel, we need to plant bamboos in the area which can later on used as materials for the hotels.

This is the same for the palm fronds used as roofing materials for their guestrooms.

We should place high importance to involving the community to these projects, where the community’s hopes and aspirations for the place are seriously taken into consideration when we start building the hotels.

Thus, beyond the eco-architecture that helps the local ecosystem, we can honour the community by hiring locals, and patronising local businesses for products needed by the hotel, and also incorporating, not disregarding, time-honoured traditions in the locality.

This is one approach to business that is simply worth emulating.

Happy Earth Day everyone!
