THE HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS & SUITES TAMPA RECEIVES
FLORIDA
GREEN LODGING PROGRAM DESIGNATION
-Environmentally friendly hotel conserves resources, saves money and attracts customers-
TAMPA – The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) welcomes the brand new Holiday Inn Express & Suites Hotel Busch Gardens USFA to the Florida Green Lodging Program. The voluntary state initiative provides the lodging industry with free technical assistance, encouraging hotels and motels to adopt cost-saving “green” practices that reduce waste and conserve natural resources.
“It is wonderful to see businesses implement green practices such as water conservation, recycling and energy reduction because they are not only good for business, they are good for Florida’s environment,” said DEP Sustainable Initiatives Director Deas Bohn.
To become a designated member of the Florida Green Lodging Program, hotels must implement a variety of green practices. These practices include, but are not limited to, water conservation measures through low flow plumbing fixtures, a linen reuse program, and energy efficiency achieved by installing ENERGY STAR® appliances and programmable thermostats. The waste reduction criteria are met by providing the opportunity to recycle, purchasing items in bulk, purchasing recycled materials and by recycling ink and toner cartridges. All designated properties must also use green cleaners and high efficiency air filters.
"Our new Holiday Inn Express & Suites is designed to be the smart choice for eco-conscious business and leisure travelers. As a leader in the segment, the Liberty Group of Companies is continuing to stay focused on innovation and guest satisfaction,” said Punit R. Shah, President of St. Petersburg-based developer Liberty Group of Companies. “Our commitment to the environment and sustainability are demonstrated through the unique design and considerations we put into each of our properties.”
DEP’s Office of Sustainable Initiatives is comprised of three voluntary, non-regulatory programs that assist Florida industry and citizens in protecting the environment. The Clean Marina Program, the Florida Green Lodging Program and the Florida Pollution Prevention Program offer a variety of services including on-site assessments, consultations, speakers and workshops, all at no cost to citizens or organizations. The goal of the Sustainable Initiatives programs is to meet the needs of the present population without compromising resources for future generations.
