Kolkata: Indians,
Indonesians and Canadians have topped a survey conducted among
tourists, based on incorporating green practices in businesses,
according to a survey by an international travel site.
The survey, TripBarometer by TripAdvisor, reveals that travellers
from India, Indonesia and Canada think hoteliers should resort to
green practices in order to reduce the impact of their business on
the environment.
Also, according to the poll, as many as 91 percent of Indian
travellers felt accommodation of tourists should be done in an
eco-friendly manner.
This is way above the average response for Asia, which stood at 71
percent and the average global sample response of 79 percent.
The comprehensive bi-annual study shows 70 percent of Indian
accommodation owners are implementing eco-friendly practices,
compared to the Asia average of 73 percent and the global average
of 77 percent.
The three major green initiatives adopted by Indian accommodation
providers include: use of energy-efficient bulbs (89 percent), a
towel-and-linen-re-use programme (83 percent) and use of
eco-friendly cleaning products (62 percent).
