A new survey shows that when travellers hit the road conservation stays at home. Despite the popularity of eco-tourism and growing awareness of climate change few American travellers take their environmentally friendly habits on vacation, a new survey commissioned by Starwood Hotels & Resorts reveals.
Most of the respondents from the over 1000 American travellers surveyed indicated that they are less likely to conserve water and electricity while they are away. In fact, more than 60 % admitted they used more of these resources because it was “free”. The same number said they were more likely to leave the lights on in a hotel room than at home.
When it comes to staying more than one night, 75% of respondents still felt it necessary to have new bed sheets and towels every day – “an environmentally unfriendly habit few practice at home” according to the article on Travel Mole.
