Background of low-carbon hotels.

The hotel has always been a service enterprise that makes people feel warm and comfortable when going out or traveling, but it has become a city pollution source that people talk about because it consumes a lot of energy and emits a lot of air pollutants. According to some data, the carbon emission of hotel energy is very large. A three-star hotel consumes about 1400 tons of coal energy a year, and emits at least 4,200 tons of carbon dioxide, 70 tons of soot and 28 tons of sulfur dioxide into the air. According to statistics, star-rated hotels in China consume 6.5438+0.2 million sets of disposable toiletries every day, reaching 2.2 billion yuan. Moreover, disposable goods can't recycle it, and at the same time it faces the waste caused by secondary treatment. It is imperative for hotel industry to introduce low-carbon economy. The emergence of low-carbon hotels conforms to the trend of the times and the theme of building a "two-oriented society" in China.
