Resort in Negros Occidental in booking website's top 10 eco-friendly hotels

Nature's Village Resort in Talisay City, Negros Occidental is among the top ten environmentally friendly hotels in the world, based on the 2012 list released by top Asian hotel booking website Agoda last October 31.

Other hotels on the top ten include Six Senses Ninh Van Bay in Vietnam, URBN hotel in China, Philea Resort and Spa in Malaysia, The Tongsai Bay in Thailand, and The Park New Delhi Hotel in India which all have five stars. Alto Hotel on Bourke in Australia, and Casa Camper in Spain which both have four stars also made it to the list, along with Borneo Highlands Resort in Malaysia and the Bangkok Tree House in Thailand, which have three stars each.   “Hotels that once considered ‘eco-friendly’ to mean a small environmental footprint and conservation of resources are now taking things a step further, cleaning up trash, investing in best-practices, actually improving the sustainability of the communities that surround them.” Robert Rosenstein, Agoda CEO, said in a press release. “Whether in big cities or remote resort islands, our customers love these eco-friendly resorts,” he added. — Amanda Lago/KBK, GMA News
