Coast Tsawwassen Inn has been accepted as a Bronze level GreenLeader into the TripAdvisor GreenLeaders program that helps travelers plan greener trips by identifying environmentally-friendly accommodations.
TripAdvisor GreenLeaders have met a set of environmental standards developed for TripAdvisor by a leading environmental consulting firm, with input from expert partners. The more green practices a hotel has in place, the higher its GreenLeader level, which is shown on the property's listing on the TripAdvisor site.
"The Coast Tsawwassen Inn is constantly looking at ways to improve service to our guests, and identifying green initiatives are one way that we can both enhance our guests' stay as well as reduce our environmental impact," said general manager Peter Yip. "We offer our guests refillable, bulk-sized amenities, a linen reuse program,
a comprehensive recycling program and source locallyproduced products where possible. In addition, the solar panels on our rooftop provide energy for heating our water."
Travelers can now search for accommodations that have a GreenLeaders status on the TripAdvisor site, and view a detailed list of environmentally-friendly practices they can expect at each location.
"TripAdvisor GreenLeaders are leading the hospitality industry in making efforts to improve their environmental footprint," said Jenny Rushmore, director of responsible travel at TripAdvisor.
"We greatly applaud these accommodations and are pleased to share their eco-friendly practices with our online audience of more than 260 million travelers who visit the site each month."
The Coast Tsawwassen Inn features 90 guest suites and over 4,500 square feet of banquet facilities.
