Article Preview

Abstract:

Low-carbon economy is the only way for China’s economic development, and also an important part of achieving the commitment to the world about reducing 40-45% carbon-emission until the year of 2020. In recent years, the increasing speed of hotels in China has become higher and higher, but most hotels have the problems of serious waste and pollution. This doesn’t benefit for development of low-carbon economy in China. So building low-carbon hotels is imminent at present. From the perspective of circular economy, this paper analyzes the ubiquitous problems in the process of building low-carbon hotels, and then summarizes successful experience of building low-carbon hotels in foreign countries. Finally, the paper put forwards to corresponding countermeasures of building low-carbon hotels from four aspects including policy, technology, culture and behavior.
