Hotels worldwide are following the trend of going green and one of the green solutions many hotels are offering their guests is that of eco friendly transportation. Transport is one of the major causes of atmospheric pollution as traditional transport releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases lead to global warming which has led to climate change. Changing the mode of transport to green transport can reduce greenhouse gases thus reducing the impact on the environment.
What is green transportation
Green transportation is that which is less harmful to the environment than conventional transportation, which uses internal combustion engines and runs on fossil fuel. Green transport does not use any kind of fuel (e.g. cycles) or use alternative fuels such as ethanol, natural gas, clean diesel, hydrogen and electric vehicles. Green transportation such as cycles and electric vehicles are becoming popular among the masses as the world has started experiencing the effects of climate change due to greenhouse gases.
Hotels are transitioning to green transportation
Many eco friendly hotels are providing green transport solutions to their guests and employees. Hotels have started offering their employees common transport or car pooling options which reduces the use of cars and thus emissions are reduced. Some hotels are also providing their guests with walking maps, bicycles or electric vehicles to move around the city/ town as these have zero emissions.
Most hotels provide information about available public transport, which guests can use, instead of cabs or taxis. Some hotels encourage eco friendly transportation by installing charging points, which guests with electric vehicles can use. And
others offer free or premier parking for green automobiles.
