Green Lodging News will be participating in the Third Annual Green Lodging Trends Report Surveythis time as a supporter of the project that will be led by Greenview. Please be sure to participate in this year’s survey. It will go “live” on July 9, 2018 and will close on August 10, 2018. I will be reminding Green Lodging News readers about the survey over the coming weeks.

There is no cost to participate. Tens of thousands of green lodging establishments around the planet are being encouraged to benchmark their sustainability practices by completing this survey which last year saw some 2,100 properties participating from 46 countries.

The Green Lodging Trends Report Survey has the support of not only Green Lodging News but also Green Key, Travelife, Green Key Global, Horwath HTL, Green Seal, Boston Green Tourism, and Avendra.

The survey encompasses topics ranging from energy management to communication to health and wellness. It consists of about 100 easy-to-complete questions covering the latest in operational practices, facility attributes, and outreach programs to conserve resources, reduce carbon emissions, increase guest experience, and make positive community impact. Properties participate by responding to the survey via the online portal platform where work can be saved, and answers can easily be updated for the next year’s survey. Returning participants can simply log in using their login credentials from last year (or click “forgot password” to reset) to participate in the survey.

The Trends Report: After the close of the survey, a Trends Report will be produced that will analyze the results with general trends and highlight exemplary practices and innovations that stand out, serving as a guidepost for the industry and especially the survey participants. Click here to access last year’s report.

The Benchmarking Report: Survey participants will receive a compare report confidential to each participant, to serve as a yardstick for a property to understand the status of each specific practice within the general participant universe.

For survey technical assistance or more information, contact Grace Kang, Managing Partner, Greenview, at grace@greenview.sg, or Skype gracekang76.

How to Search on Our Website

Like other search engines you find online, a search using one word will produce articles with that word included. If you would like to search for something that is more than one word long—ozone laundry, for example—you will need to put quotation marks around the words or phrase. Ozone laundry would then be “ozone laundry” in the search.

Who is Your Sustainability Champion?

Green Lodging News is always looking to profile sustainability champions in our Personnel Profile section. If you would like to nominate someone for this section of Green Lodging News, contact me at (813) 510-3868, or by e-mail at editor@greenlodgingnews.com.

Looking for Guest Columnists

Every two weeks Green Lodging News posts a new guest column on its website. (Click here for examples.) The guest column also appears in the weekly e-newsletter. Green Lodging News is currently in need of industry experts to contribute occasional guest columns. Experts may include consultants, architects, designers, suppliers and those who own or operate green lodging establishments. Columns may be articles that take a stance on a particular subject or be strictly educational in nature. Columnists benefit by having their photo included along with a one paragraph description of their company. Interested in writing a column?
