Hotels and resorts are receiving support to use energy more efficiently while maintaining the comfort guests expect.

Practical support for tourism businesses

The Department of Energy and Department of Tourism initiative combines energy assessments, technical guidance, and information about financing. The DOE reported on-ground assessments at 46 tourism establishments in Metro Manila.

What this means for travelers

The program focuses on how accommodation businesses operate. It is not a certification that every participating property has already met a particular environmental standard.

Key takeaways

  • Energy assessments help identify improvement opportunities
  • Technical assistance supports practical changes
  • Guest comfort remains part of the program's focus

Looking ahead

When choosing accommodation, ask about specific environmental practices and services that matter to your stay.
