Leading Hotels of the World Committed to Carbon Neutral Experience

The Leading Hotels of the World, Ltd., a prestigious luxury hospitality organization representing more than 430 of the world's finest hotels, resorts and spas, has made a financial commitment to offset guest's "carbon footprint" during their stay at any Leading Hotel.

Travel Green, launched in 2007 by Sustainable Travel International, calculates energy consumption to be around 50 cents per room, per Leading Hotels of the World's individual luxury resort sites. By donating that 50 cents per room (per night), Leading Hotels helps leisure travel become that much more carbon neutral. The money is invested in supporting clean, renewable energy resources. This 50 cent per guest investment goes directly towards solar and wind power. The overall quantity of greenhouse gases is reduced, once more energy efficient power sources are utilized. The Leading Hotels of the World is the first international luxury hotel brand to take part in this program.
