MADISON, WI — Great Wolf Resorts has become the first and only national hotel chain to have all of its U.S. properties Green Seal certified, according to a press release.
After realizing that Green Seal certification only covers the lodging portion of Great Wolf Resorts' business, the company decided to further examine its properties and set out to create accountability and guidelines to green the rest of the resort amenities, creating Project Green Wolf, the release stated.
Kim Schaefer, chief executive officer of Great Wolf Resorts: "We believe green tourism is the most important travel trend of our lifetime, and we wanted to do the right thing by taking a leadership position on this. It’s nice to be recognized as the first national hotel chain to achieve Green Seal Certification, yet more importantly, it’s gratifying to know we’re doing our part to create a sustainable tourism product for lots of families and generations to come."
Highlights of Project Green Wolf include: Management of fresh water resources; waste minimization, including a recycling program; increased energy efficiency; environmentally responsible purchasing; and educating guests on ways to lessen their environmental footprint, the release noted.
Great Wolf Resorts spent the last year making the necessary changes to its properties to meet the Green Seal requirements, the release added.
