About this Guide<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Energy, water, and wastewater are the most popular sustainability areas focused on by the accommodations industry. Your property can reduce its \u201cecological footprint\u201d by systematically addressing these areas of concern, all while realizing significant cost savings. But there are also many other ways you can promote, support and perpetuate Hawai\u2018i\u2019s unique natural environment and culture. This guide will assist you and your property in exploring new approaches, tools, and resources in support of sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An increasing number of visitors worldwide\u2014and particularly in Hawai\u2018i\u2014are seeking a genuine natural and cultural experience in the place they are visiting, and are becoming more discerning and aware of \u201cgreenwashing.\u201d In this guide we demonstrate the value of making your hotel more reef-friendly, not just from a conservation standpoint, but from a marketing perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This resource guide can help your property take stock of its own operations, review and be inspired by examples of others\u2019 efforts, and find resources to assist in implementing new strategies within your own property. As many resorts in Hawai\u2018i are situated along the shoreline, they play an important role and shoulder significant responsibility to serve as a \u201cline of defense\u201d for the coastal ecosystem. Suggestions in this guide, and additional technical resources will provide the accommodations industry the tools you need to ensure that you are helping to maintain a healthy coastal environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
