They are looking for the hotels in Europe, Middle East &amp; Africa, Asia Pacific and the\u00a0Americas with the best environmental and responsible initiatives and practices.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Green Hotelier Awards are looking\u00a0for hotels of any size or location which are working hard to be responsible businesses by reducing their carbon footprint, their water use and their waste output; which are positively impacting their local community and have fair labour practices and good employee initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s winners ranged from a passive house designed boutique hotel in Austria to an Indonesia paradise resort island, and from an eco-lodge in Ecuador to a Cape Town airport hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Editor and awards co-judge Siobhan O\u2019Neill said, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenhotelier.org\/\">Green Hotelier<\/a> aims to be a free resource showcasing best practice in sustainability from all hotels around the world in order that other hoteliers can replicate their initiatives and become more responsible businesses with improved environmental impacts globally. Not all solutions will work in all regions of the world, but every journey is a lesson we can learn from. This is the chance for the best green hotels around the world to share what they\u2019ve learned with us and their peers to help the hospitality industry as a whole have a collective impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe applicants in 2015 were wide-ranging and their various eco-initiatives were fascinating and effective. I can\u2019t wait to learn more from this year\u2019s applicants and to help share their stories and their sustainability journeys to the wider industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Green Hotelier Awards 2016 are open now with a closing date for applications of Friday 4<sup>th<\/sup> March. Winners will be announced during Responsible Business Week starting 18<sup>th<\/sup> April 2016.<\/p>\n<p>There will be a winner and two runners up for each of the four\u00a0regions.\u00a0The deadline for applications is Friday 4th March.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenhotelier.org\/our-news\/industry-news\/are-you-the-greenest-hotel-of-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">For
