Easy Green Travel Booking
Scheduling your next vacation so that it reflects your eco-friendly values can be overwhelming. First, you have to call various hotels and search their sites to see how green they really are. Oh, and don’t forget about renting an efficient vehicle to get you around town. By the time you’re done researching, you might end up looking at more of a travel expense than you initially intended.
Using RezHub.com can ensure your vacation is sustainable and more affordable without the hassle of researching for hours. Their Green Travel Hub has provided all of the information you need about hotels, because they have actually visited the hotels and made the phone calls. If you already know a thing or two about traveling in green style, post useful information for other travelers on the Green Travel Forum.
Finally there is a user-friendly directory of green hotels to narrow your searches and help you book the perfectly sustainable vacation. Currently, RezHub has ranked 1,600 hotels in over 40 countries. The scoring system ranks each hotel’s Green Amenities, and as a result, the hotel receives a designated amount of Green Branches to show their level of eco-friendly services.
If you’re unable to afford or fit one of these eco-friendly hotels into your itinerary, don’t worry because RezHub donates 20% of its profits from any trip booked on its site to environmentally friendly organizations. So even if you don’t choose a green hotel, you support the planet just by booking your vacation on the site. Traveling more eco-consciously couldn’t be any simpler.
If you can’t find a hotel on RezHub’s site, another great site for green hotels is environmentallyfriendlyhotels.com, too! Between these two sites, you should be able to find a hotel anywhere that will offer you green features!
Really be sure to find out the specific green practices a hotel is doing to ensure they are truly eco-friendly. LEED certification helps, too. Hotel Arista [www.hotelarista.com] here in my hometown of Naperville, IL actually just received LEED certification, due in part to the wealth of methods used to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
