The Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau has announced a new "Green Hawaii" program that showcases ecofriendly efforts made by the state's resorts and hotels.

The program offers meeting planners and groups a list of environmentally responsible and energy-saving programs initiated by resort and hotel properties.

"Taking part in 'green meetings' has become very relevant in today's meetings industry and is in line with the social responsibility that is driving the decision-making of corporations and associations nationally," said Michael Murray, HVCB's vice president of sales and marketing for corporate meetings and incentives, in a statement. "Our visitor industry does an admirable job with its eco-friendly business practices and we are letting planners know this to give them one more reason to book meetings in Hawaii."

The Green Hawaii listing is available online at www.businessaloha.com.
