As the competitiveness of the hotel industry intensifies, the hotel and catering industry has also encountered unprecedented challenges. If hotel catering wants to develop sustainably, it must possess the core competitiveness of catering. Eager for quick success at the expense of long-term interests is a big drawback in the whole society, and China's hotel industry is no exception. Therefore, people with insight call that if the alarm is not sounded, the earth will have no future. Sustainable development is the main theme of the scientific outlook on development advocated by the Chinese government. Green economy has been recognized by more and more citizens. A harmonious society is not a single branch but a hundred flowers blooming. Only with great liberation of the mind can we feel the distant past and the lasting future. It is said that those who have perseverance have perseverance, and we want to say that those with perseverance will naturally have perseverance. Green economy is to invest the concept of longevity in economic activities. Go in. Green hotels are practitioners of environmentally friendly economy. Green hotels are called green hotels internationally, but they are also called eco-efficient hotels in official occasions and formal meetings and documents, which means "eco-efficiency hotel". As the global environmental problems intensify, environmental protection, as a concept of human development, will affect people's daily lives, and everyone will participate in environmental protection. As for enterprises, it is more important to reflect their social responsibility in the operation and management process and ensure that the impact of their production and operations on the environment is minimized. Except for manufacturers of environmentally friendly products and technologies, companies do not agree to seek their own interests in the name of environmental protection. Therefore, the concept of the so-called "green environmental economy" and whether it will become the mainstream of China's economic development remains to be discussed. It may be more accurate to use the concept of "circular economy". Circular economy is the trend of international economic development, and China's economic development is certainly no exception. The English word "Green hotel" was adopted just to make it easier to understand. "Green" is a metaphor for environmental protection, which has been widely recognized and accepted by the public. For example, Greenpeace Organization is a well-known international environmental protection organization. English is very inclusive and innovative, and Green hotel will also become an accepted title. In English, there are not only Eco-efficient hotels, but also Environmental friendship hotels (environmentally friendly hotels), which have similar meanings. An article once wrote that Eco-hotel can be considered to represent a green hotel, which is more concise. The definition of green hotel is relatively accurate in the "Green Tourism Hotel" issued by the National Tourism Administration. "A hotel that takes sustainable development as its concept, adheres to clean production, advocates green consumption, and protects the ecological environment. (LB/T007-2006)" In the process of operation and management, the hotel mobilizes hotel employees and guests to join the ranks of environmental protection , strive to save energy and resources and reduce pollutant emissions to reflect the hotel company's sense of social responsibility. "Let hotels become green hotels and hotel guests become green consumers" is a goal that modern hotels should pursue. Green hotels refer to hotels that take sustainable development as the concept, integrate environmental management into hotel operation and management, apply environmental protection, health and safety concepts, adhere to green management and hotel operations, advocate green consumption, protect the ecological environment and rationally use resources. The most basic meaning of a green hotel is to save energy and reduce consumption, taking all possible measures to save energy consumption such as electricity, water, natural gas, etc., to maximize the utilization of resources, and to enable the hotel to achieve high-efficiency operation. At present, many hotels have integrated environmental protection concepts into their designs from the beginning of building construction, such as using special energy-saving materials to maximize the heat and moisture insulation effects to reduce energy consumption during hotel operation. Secondly, another concept of green hotel is to minimize pollution, reduce the emission of waste gas and other behaviors that pollute the surrounding environment as much as possible. Currently, the hotel industry generally adopts measures such as: soliciting guests’ opinions to reduce the frequency of changing linens; using clean fuel and not burning raw coal, etc. In fact, the creation, implementation and maintenance of green hotels is a continuous development process. It cannot be said that a hotel that is a green hotel from the beginning will always be a green hotel. More efforts come from environmental protection in the management and service process. consistent persistence. In fact, from the customer's point of view, sometimes promoting green environmental protection also brings certain inconveniences to customers, such as promoting measures such as small water consumption. Therefore, the construction of green hotels is in sync with the improvement of national environmental awareness and often requires the cooperation of customers. A green hotel is an environment-friendly, eco-efficient hotel. Green hotels have three concepts and six standards of "green, healthy and environmentally friendly": minimum sewage discharge, recycling and reuse of related items; effective use, storage and management of energy; management of fresh water resources; wastewater management; and attention to environmental protection procurement policy; social and cultural development. Green hotels refer to hotels that apply the concepts of safety, health and environmental protection, adhere to green management, advocate green consumption, protect the ecology and rationally use resources. Safety means that the hotel has corresponding public safety facilities and food safety assurance systems.

Health means that hotels provide consumers with services and products that are beneficial to physical and mental health. Environmental protection refers to the reduction of environmental pollution, energy conservation and consumption reduction in hotel operations. Green hotels are divided into five grades from A to AAAAA, with the Chinese characteristic ginkgo leaf as the logo, and are awarded to hotels rated according to the standards. The evaluation of green hotels will be carried out by an expert committee organized by the China Hotels Association. The current standards divide the "greenness" of hotels into two levels: gold leaf and silver leaf. A Green Hotel is a hotel that takes sustainable development as its concept, adheres to clean production, advocates green consumption, protects the ecological environment and rationally uses resources. Its basic principles are the principle of reduction, reuse, recycling and substitution. The qualifications to participate in the assessment are tourist hotels that have been officially open for more than one year. The rated green tourist hotels will be reviewed every three years by the provincial tourism star hotel rating agency. The review results will be reported to the China Tourism Star Hotel Rating Agency for filing. The mark is valid for five years (from the date of issuance of the certificate). Upon expiration, you must reapply and reassess. If the hotel industry wants to develop sustainably, it must support the upstream industry chain. This is also an important concept of green hotels - comprehensive, harmonious and sustainable development. During the implementation of green hotels, we must always pay attention to the issues of hotel product suppliers. The hotel should reach a kind of communication and cooperation with its suppliers to jointly promote the hotel's green environmental protection work. Many hotels already have some effective measures, such as purchasing consumables with simple packaging, purchasing durable furniture, and purchasing pollution-free vegetables and green foods. We hope that suppliers of hotel equipment, products and technologies will pay more attention to the needs of hotels and produce more and better "environmentally friendly" products. Green environmental protection mainly means that hotels reduce environmental pollution, save energy and reduce consumption during the operation process, and maximize resource utilization. At present, the concept of green environmental protection is increasingly applied to the operation of urban inns, mainly from two aspects. First, it is energy saving and consumption reduction. Including: saving water, electricity, coal, natural gas and other aspects. For example: the hotel has established a water metering system to record and analyze water usage conditions; central air conditioners are equipped with automatic frequency converters to adjust the amount of water and electricity under low power; guest rooms use small-displacement flush toilets; and the use of energy-saving lamps is even more important. Commonly used in the hotel industry, we will further consider the use of solar technology products. Secondly, strive to minimize the pollution to the surrounding environment and reduce waste and gas emissions as much as possible. For example, all city inn chain hotels use heat pumps instead of boilers to heat hot water to avoid the waste gas generated by boilers from polluting the surrounding environment; central air conditioners use heat recovery devices to use the heat energy generated by the operation of the air conditioner to burn domestic water, as much as possible Utilize renewable resources. Disposable tableware such as disposable tableware and foam lunch boxes are never used for coffee, and the tableware has complete disinfection measures. The above measures are all hardware improvements of the hotel, but their implementation requires the active cooperation of employees and guests. For example, many hotels currently display reminder cards to remind guests to save water and electricity and not to replace linens too frequently, but this may only be done by a small number of guests. This requires the hotel to continuously infiltrate the concept of environmental protection in the operation process.
