Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
One of the
biggest issues that eco lodges and green hotels face is the lack of a universal
definition. How eco-friendly does a lodge or boutique hotel need to be to
qualify? And who determines which accommodations will pass muster?
Unfortunately,
some of the world's most well-known and respected "green"
certification programs are cost-prohibitive
for many eco lodges, which are often relatively small and owned and operated by
independent entrepreneurs rather than corporations.
But there are
numerous reputable certification programs that responsible travelers can look
for before they book an eco lodge or hotel stay. Many - including Green Seal in
the U.S. - are part of the Global Ecolabelling Network, a non-profit group
comprised of 25 third - party organizations throughout the world. They are all devoted to improving,
promoting and developing labelling systems for eco-friendly products and
services.
Arctic Tundra
Lodge in Churchill, Manitoba Sponsored in part by the United Nations World
Tourism Organization, the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Criteria are widely considered the gold
standard in “green” certification. These criteria involve effective
sustainability planning, maximizing social and economic benefits for the local
community, enhancing cultural heritage, and reducing negative impacts on the
environment.
Where the GSTC
has guidelines for destinations, hotels and tour operators, Green Key Global is
designed specifically for the lodging industry. Its flagship Eco-Rating
Program, which evaluates properties on an environmental, social and economic
level, has certified around 2,370 green hotels and eco lodges in 52 countries
over the past 15 years.
Green Globe is
another popular certification program, offering training and education for
hotels/resorts, attractions, organizations, cruise ships, and various tourism
industry suppliers. Their global network of independent auditors provides
third-party inspection and an internationally recognized seal of approval
that's become increasingly popular over the past 25 years.
