Green Globe of late awarded Eyja Guldsmenden Hotel its inaugural certification. The accreditation is assessed on the basis of the performance of property over 300 indicators, across three pillars of sustainable development: economic, environmental and social. The hotel was capable to highlight innovations that perk up the quality of service and comfort for its customers as well as employees alongside environmental protection measures and the lessening of its carbon footprint along with a constant commitment to preserving the planet and supporting the local community.Linda Jóhannsdóttir, Co-founder and CEO of Eyja Guldsmeden Hotel said, “I have a deep passion and belief that we have a responsibility to support and protect our community and our environment. We use sustainable business practices, and this has an impact not only ecologically and socially but also economically.”
Eco-friendly travel options are considered to grow in this year in order to meet green travelers’ demands. Also, business travelers are going greener with many corporations executing booking policies that need traveling employees to stay at sustainable hotels.
“Many hotel guests want to stay in a ‘green’ hotel as it allows them to know that they’re helping to protect the environment. In fact, about 76 percent of travelers say that implementing eco-friendly practices is important in their choice of lodging, and this figure is rising. Having a green certification, such as Green Globe, allows us to draw these ecologically minded guests to our hotel,” added Ms Jóhannsdóttir.
