A Comparative Study of the Standards and Certification System of the Green Hotel: China, U.S., and Europe

Abstract:

This paper mainly compares Chinese "Green Hotel" National Standard with three green hotel certification programs originated from U.S. and Europe, including the Green Key, the Green Key Eco-rating Program and the Green Leaf Eco-rating Program. The similarities and differences of all these certification programs are concluded. Eventually, some practical suggestions for stakeholders to promote Chinese green hotel standards are proposed.
