First of its Kind Agreement between EPA, Puerto Rico Tourism Company and Puerto Rico Solid Waste Authority Will Promote Green Tourism
Spanning a wide array of supply chains, services, and activities, the
hospitality industry presents
a major opportunity to combine economically and environmentally sustainable
practices. By using sound environmental
management practices, lodging and restaurant establishments can reduce
their impact on the environment, improve their bottom line, and satisfy
customer demand for environmentally conscientious hospitality facilities.
