Ecotels, or green hotels, are environmentally friendly hotels that conserve natural resources and minimize pollution. They support local environments through efforts like using recycled materials in renovations. Ecotels must follow the three R's of reduce, reuse, and recycle. Popular certified Indian ecotels include Orchid Mumbai and Fern Hotels. While some uncertified hotels also practice sustainability, ecotel certification requires criteria like energy efficiency, environmental commitments, education, and solid waste management. Ecotels aim to be profitable while protecting the environment, unlike normal hotels which prioritize branding over sustainability.
