Green Travel is the must-have guide to eco-lodges & green hotels around the world. Featuring 100 clean, green accommodations that are not only environmentally friendly, but work to support local communities as well, Choosing Eco-Travel celebrates the growing availability of green travel experiences.

·100 independent reviews of green accommodations that have a minimum impact on the environment and benefit the local community in measurable ways.

·A full description of the green credentials of each hotel and lodge
