America’s Best Franchising Debuts ‘Eco-Rooms’

Hotel & Motel Management:

With concern for our nation’s environment and conservation of its natural resources on the rise, today’s travelers want a safer, more healthy and sustainable experience while on the road. Now, 2 hotel chains – America’s Best Inns & Suites and Country Hearth Inns – will feature a green initiative known as EcoRooms® with products that are energy efficient, water efficient, waste reducing, and non-toxic and/or biodegradable. The system wide program was announced by America’s Best Franchising, Inc., franchisor of the hotel brands.

‘EcoRooms are more comfortable for guests and more cost-effective for hotels,’ said Doug Collins, chairman and CEO of America’s Best Franchising, Inc. and its subsidiaries. ‘This is a win-win program for everyone because green is good for guests, good for the environment and good for the bottom line.’

According to Dan Bornholdt, president of Green Suites® International, which is partnering with America’s Best Franchising to supply EcoRooms, ‘This is the first time that an entire hotel chain has made the commitment to EcoRooms and to protecting the environment. EcoRooms are 50% more energy efficient, 40% more water efficient, and safer and healthier for both guests and room attendants.’

For guests, EcoRooms provide a better overall hotel experience…
