We have all heard much about the ‘green vacation’ and offering new options to appeal to special interest travelers. Today I saw an interesting validation of the green theme from Marriott. Yep, the big boys are getting into the green travel.
The part I found interesting here is that Marriott is starting by cleaning up its vacation club corporate headquarters. There is something to be learned for your vacation rental business – when starting a green strategy, make sure you start from within. That will show your commitment to the cause, as well as get your team excited about the direction.
Interesting Statistic – Estimated Styrofoam and Plastic Waste Sent to Landfill Each Year from Marriott Vacation Club Corporate Headquarters:
Styrofoam Plates – 47,000
Plastic Forks – 28,000
Plastic Knives – 16,000
Plastic Spoons – 36,000
Styrofoam Cups – 127,000
Total Sent to Landfill – 254,000
