Orlando,
Florida, September 2012—In celebration of World Tourism Day—Thursday,
September 27—the American
Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (EI) is offering 35%
savings on three books featuring information and best practices on
hotel
sustainability.
The theme of this year’s World Tourism Day is “Tourism and Sustainable
Energy:
Powering Sustainable Development.” According to the World Tourism
Organization (UNWTO), “Tourism, one of the world’s largest economic
sectors,
has already taken important steps towards this future – improving
energy
efficiency and increasingly using renewable energy technologies in its
operations. These steps are creating jobs, lifting people out of
poverty and
helping to protect the planet.”
To help hotel professionals better understand sustainability issues and
learn
more about green best practices, EI will offer a limited-time
special on
the following titles:
- Hotel
Sustainable Development: Principles and Best Practices. In this
book's 21 chapters, leading sustainable development experts identify
emerging trends and discuss how sustainability affects regulatory,
policy, development, architectural, financial, and operational
issues. Each chapter presents important elements in the
implementation of sustainable development to provide valuable insights
to hotel investors, developers, owners, and lodging operators.
- Greening
Food and Beverage Operations: A Green Seal™ Guide to Transforming the
Industry. This book shows readers how food service affects air
quality, oceans, fresh waters, and land use, and how food professionals
can implement methods to make positive changes while boosting
profitability and marketability. Topics include: environmental impacts
across the food service life cycle; management of pre- and
post-consumer food waste; conducting a waste audit; staff training for
waste management; understanding energy and water use; and tracking,
reporting, and marketing sustainability efforts.
- High-Performance
Hospitality: Sustainable Hotel Case Studies. High performance
hotels are designed, constructed, and operated sustainably, using
energy, water, materials, and land efficiently. But are sustainable
hotels financially feasible? Yes, and they are the future of the
hospitality industry. This solid analysis of sustainable hospitality
development presents eight detailed case studies of successful,
sustainable hotel projects representing a cross-section of hotel types:
mid-size, conference center, and luxury (small and large) branded and
independent properties. Available in print or on CD.
