Vinivi goes green and hotels get confused
Author: admin
I wrote about Vinivi on these pages before. The hotel review site based in beautiful Mauritius has started to add new features on their site and a major one is the eco-friendly stamp "Green Hotel" on more than 600 hotel properties in 55 countries.
The initiative is co-partnered with different certification bodies: The Green Key, The European EcoLabel or The GreenGlobe.
This is the first initiative of its kind in the online travel space. Having said that, I already start to see an issue about how many bodies that are or will be created to certify hotels. You can already see 3 bodies at this stage. Does a hotel needs to get certified with the 3 bodies to be fully 100% eco friendly? How do you choose between th 3? How much does it cost?
Another initiative I have been aware of is the creation of CarePar aiming to calculate the CO2 emissions in a hotel. The project is led by Peter Ducker, Executive Director of the Hotel Booking Agents Association.
