NATIONAL ECOTOURISM WORKSHOP GREEN HOTEL AWARD YE MYINT DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER MINISTRY OF HOTELS & TOURISM
What is a GREEN Hotel? • “Green” hotels are environmentally friendly properties that take the initiative and implement very important practices and programs to reduce energy, water, and waste. Green Hotels are participating in recycling programs, linen changing programs, installing energy efficient lighting, and getting their message out to their guests and how they are doing their part in protecting the planet.
Why Should Hotels Be Green? - Being green goes directly to your bottom line. - Being green goes directly to your front doors which open wide to bring guests back again and again. - Being green goes directly to keeping staff long- term because management clearly cares for their health and well-being.
