Because this is from the New York Times, it won't let me share it via Diigo. However, I have included the link to my annotated version. This article was very interesting because it listed examples of hotels who have implemented green technologies and have greatly benefitted from it. One example is Conrad Bora Bora Nui resort which has decided to take it upon themselves to develop 17 underwater coral structures that guests can snorkel and visit for $49. It has helped regenerate the amount of coral around the resort. One interesting take on green technology comes from Hostelling International USA which has implemented 7 minute showers. LED lights appear when the client is reaching the end of their allotted 7 minutes. I don't know how effective this would be in the hospitality industry. However, I noticed that the company has hostels throughout the world, which denotes that they probably cater to a very different kind of customer than luxury or even basic hotels.
