With today’s emphasis on green and environmental tourism, the demand for eco accommodation is on the rise.

An eco hotel, sometimes referred to as a green hotel, is a hotel that is eco-consciously aware of its carbon footprint and attempts to mitigate that footprint through its design and implementation of its sustainable practices. Many hotels have implemented sustainable practices through the use of sustainable building materials, placement of solar panels, protection of the natural environment, and empowering of local communities. However, there is a whole range of sustainability practices to look for when choosing eco accommodation.
