State looking for its greenest hotels

PROVIDENCE -- The state Department of Environmental Management and organizations that promote the hospitality industry are unveiling a survey this morning that attempts to identify the state’s most environmentally responsible hotels.

The survey is part of a campaign to convince hoteliers to voluntarily go “green” to help the city attract tourists and conventioneers concerned about the environmental toll of their business and personal travel.

The initiative, organized in part by the Rhode Island Hospitality and Tourism Association, will be announced this morning at the annual meeting of the Providence Warwick Convention and Visitors Bureau. The meeting is being held at the IMAX Theatre at the Providence Place mall.
