當今大環(huán)境，人口激增、資源銳減、消耗加劇、污染惡劣等拷問著各行各業(yè)的應(yīng)戰(zhàn)能力。大敵當前，是智??？是硬撐？還是視若無睹？尤其對于人員流動率高、消耗多為一次性的酒店業(yè)而言，它又該如何見招拆招、明哲保身呢？

紐約中央公園一號酒店，利用自然與有機材料，將一個生機盎然的大千自然遷入室內(nèi)，綠植舉目可見。細數(shù)室內(nèi)的木材、磚、大理石、石頭及本地采購的玻璃，一應(yīng)是回收品。酒店外墻擺滿花盆，五株常春藤自如蔓延；一英里多的灌溉管道布排在4個區(qū)域內(nèi)，隨時待命。

蘭卡威安達曼豪華精選度假酒店，在千萬年熱帶雨林和八千年珊瑚礁的懷抱中，仿佛一個讓人不忍驚擾的自然夢境。度假村推出珊瑚保護項目，旨在借助Coral Nursery（珊瑚培育園）和珊瑚礁活動，以更大的努力履行拯救和修復(fù)珊瑚礁的使命，在東南亞地區(qū)可謂是首開先河。

新加坡皮克林賓樂雅酒店除了多種姿態(tài)各異的植物群將酒店院落裝點得格外美麗，是新加坡首家使用太陽能電池供電的零耗能酒店，更采用綜合性節(jié)能節(jié)水措施，例如使用光線、雨水和動作感應(yīng)器，以及集雨和NEWater（循環(huán)系再用水）。酒店多以天然素材如黑木材、石礫、玻璃等配搭為設(shè)計概念，并用上從外透射的日光營造大自然的和諧感，確乎是一座名副其實的花園酒店。

近些年，綠色環(huán)保酒店從萌芽到大行其道，以勢如破竹之勢席卷全球。酒店以可持續(xù)發(fā)展為理念，將環(huán)境管理融入經(jīng)營管理之中，運用環(huán)保、健康、安全理念，堅持綠色管理和清潔生產(chǎn)，倡導(dǎo)綠色消費，保護生態(tài)環(huán)境和合理使用資源。綠色環(huán)保酒店猶如一股清流，注入原先行將干燥皴裂的酒店業(yè)土壤，孕育著欣然復(fù)蘇的希冀。

In today's environment， there are many environmental issues waiting to be solved by all lines of occupations， such as population growth， resource decrease， consumption surge and growing pollution. Should one face it with wit， endure it or just ignore it？ How should the hotel industry， with its high turnover rate and one-time consumption， handle this situation？

In 1 Hotel Central Park， New York， there is an impressive indoor nature， where the use of natural and organic materials， and plants can be seen everywhere. The indoor wood， brick， marble， stone and the locally procured glass are all recycled goods. The outer walls of the hotel are decorated with flowerpots， with five Ivy spread freely across； and a mile-long irrigation pipeline is placed in 4 areas， ready to work.

Surrounded by tropical rainforests of millions of years and coral reefs of eight thousand years， the Andaman， a Luxury Collection Resort， Langkawi， just seems like an unbelievable dream. The resort has also launched a Coral conservation project， aiming to fulfill the mission of saving and restoring the reef through the Coral Nursery （Coral breeding Park） and coral reef activities. This is certainly the first example in Southeast Asia.

PARKROYAL on Pickering breaks new ground by introducing the state's first solar-powered sky-gardens. Amongst its other energy conservation features are the use of automatic light， rain and motion sensors， rain harvesting and NEWater （recycled water）. Nature-inspired materials and textures such as light and dark wood， pebbles， water， and glass are used throughout the design of the hotel.

In recent years， the green hotel trend has swept the whole globe. Hotels now adopt the concept of sustainable development and blend the environmental management into the business management； they also employ the philosophy of environmental protection， health and safety， adhere to green management and clean production， and promote green consumption， ecological environment protection and rational use of resources. Green hotel is like fresh air， injecting new hopes into the old dry soil of the hotel industry and nurturing them.
