Destination Earth is preserving the environment one destination at a time…

We are proud to have created a Destination Earth taskforce, comprised of leaders throughout the organization and representing hotel and resort operations, to ensure that all departments of Destination Hotels & Resorts are personally invested in the program.

• Establishment of a property specific "green team" at each Destination property nationwide, to adopt and implement earth-friendly practices in our businesses and to become better stewards of the natural resources we utilize. Finally, to monitor effectiveness of these practices.
• Sourcing environmentally sensitive products and services locally, and purchasing organic, environmentally friendly/responsible and recycled supplies, whenever possible.
• Purchasing fresh, and sustainable foods locally grown, whenever possible.
• Creating partnerships with other organizations that have demonstrated a commitment to preserving the environment.
• Leading our associates to apply eco-friendly practices in their daily operations.
• Utilizing environmentally-responsible building materials and strategies for new properties and renovations to reduce environmental impact.
• Retrofitting existing properties with energy efficient lighting, heating and cooling systems, as well as water-saving devices.
• Implementing tools that allow us to continually measure the progress of our individual properties and support their commitment to preserving the environment through the Destination Earth program.
