National Geographic designed a rigorous program to select the hotels they felt were aiming to satisfy guests while promoting the natural and cultural heritage of a region, as well as focusing on the environment. This is a short article that briefly describes the selection process and lists the hotels that have "passed the test". I found the three main questions posed by NatGeo to be very pertinent.

These other lodges and hotels will thus adjust their practices and policies, and essentially become greener and more focused on protecting and sustaining the environment.
