Article on green scheme

The Malta Tourism Authority's eco-certification scheme achieved international exposure through an article which featured in the October 2003 edition of the prominent UK magazine Green Hotelier.

Green Hotelier highlights the importance of environmental management in the international tourism industry.

The MTA's Eco-certification scheme aims to reduce the impact hotels have on the environment by cutting operational costs without reducing quality.

Tourism accommodation establishments interested in the scheme must also be ready to commit themselves to a process of continuous improvement in order to reduce their impact on the environment.
