Marriott Promotes Awareness of Green Travel

Not because we're between St. Patrick's Day and Earth Day, but because opportunities to travel and live green are increasing, here's how one major international chain is promoting environmental consciousness and one single hotel in that chain seeks to combine luxury with a bit of environmental awareness:

In conjunction with a global environmental organization called Clean Up the World, Marriott International is launching Environmental Awareness Month on April 1 with an information campaign guiding both guests and employees to be “green” on the road, at work and at home. On Earth Day itself (April 22), Marriott will offer all of its guests a copy of True Green, a new book outlining 100 everyday ways to help the planet.

Le Merigot, a luxurious JW Marriott hotel and spa right on the beach in Santa Monica, is promoting a Cruisin’ Hybrid package that combines a superior guest room and a Toyota Prius Hybrid Synergy car rental, starting at $349 per night.
