The Caribbean Hotel Association is sponsoring “Greening Your Hotel” environmental seminars. These are held in conjunction with American Express and American Airlines/American Eagle and seek to bring about an expansion of the environmental awareness program already in place.
The seminars, to be given by an environmental specialist, are to be conducted during week-long visits to various island holiday resorts. Hoteliers will attend one-day workshops with the emphasis on how to use the Environmental Toolkit to get a “Green” program started.
The instructor will also conduct individual environment hotel audits and offer individual hoteliers specific advice on how to develop an action plan to improve their hotel’s environmental efficiency.
These programs are scheduled for Puerto Rico, Anguilla, Curaçao, Bahamas, Trinidad & Tobago, St. Maarten, British Virgin Islands, Aruba. Dates are yet to be announced for such seminars in the Dominican Republic, Grenada, and Trinidad & Tobago.
