Country Inns & Suites Makes Conservational Changes

Since more than a third of travelers are keenly concerned with green travel, many suite hotels are making measures to accomodate guests' forward thinking. So when Carlson Hotels conducted it's guest survey and discovered that 56% of guests actively seek environmentally friendly products and services, with 52% saying they would participate in programs to help reduce or offset the hotel’s carbon emissions, they decided it was time to make big changes.

With the introduction of their comprehensive "Green Guide", entitled "Practical Guide to Greening Your Hotel", all 5 of Carlson's five hotel and suite brands will focus on specific issues that can have immediate impact on the environment and surrounding communities. Reducing, recycling and reusing solid waste, reducing the use of harmful chemicals, conserving energy and water and improving indoor air quality are major components of the hotel brand's new educational tool. The book has been distributed to all Carlson hotels, including Country Inns & Suites, which are an enonomical option for family travel at a wide range of fun destinations.
