A very happy new year to you! I hope that you have a healthy, happy and prosperous 2026. A big thank you to the many suppliers, consultants, public relations professionals, hoteliers, innkeepers, sustainability directors and others who have made Green Lodging News’ 20th year possible.
As we move forward into the new year, be sure to keep Green Lodging News at the top of your list when it comes to sharing news about your company’s sustainability initiatives, new products, services, etc. Don’t forget that I accept press releases (Word format, please) as well as longer articles. If you would like to help educate our readers about a subject or if you have a strong opinion on a particular topic you would like to share, keep the Green Lodging News Guest Columns section in mind. E-mail me first with your ideas. I can be reached at greenlodgingnews@gmail.com.
Don’t hesitate to send me information about upcoming events. This year will be filled with trade shows and conferences rich with sustainability-related content. One example: March 3 & 4, the AHLA Responsible Stay and Food & Beverage Summits will be held at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner in McLean, Va. Click here for more details.
The Green Lodging News website is a treasure trove of content with approximately 20,000 articles. Your press release, guest article or case study has the potential of experiencing thousands of page views.
As always, my goal in 2026 will be to share news while keeping the planet’s health, you and your guests’ wellness, and your bottom line in mind.
Once again, all the best to you in this new year!
