Hospitality Experience : |
The Green Leaf Environmental Standard was initiated by the Wilderness Foundation, piloted in Africa, and was launched at South Africa's Tourism Indaba in May 2008. The Green Leaf Environmental Standard has assessed hotels, game lodges and country estates in the tourism sector, an industry sector that interfaces intrinsically with the environment.
Since Indaba, international tourism property owners have embraced the Green Leaf Environmental Standard and are undergoing assessments in African countries including Namibia, Botswana, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania. |
