While four in 10 travelers say they are prepared to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to booking eco-friendly travel, it is not always easy for travelers to determine just which companies are truly committed to the cause.
In April 2009, TripAdvisor surveyed its editors and travelers to come up with a list of its 10 favorite “eco-mmodations.”
“These properties offer travelers the chance to experience incredible places while still being environmentally responsible. Staying at one of these hotels not only gives guests the opportunity to educate themselves about the environment, but also the chance to help sustain it as well,” said Michele Perry, vice president of global communications for TripAdvisor.
