Smithsonian honors Hampton Inn for Sustainable Tourism

December 9, 2004 at 7:17 AM | 0 Comments

Hampton Inn has received the prestigious Sustainable Tourism Award presented by Smithsonian Magazine Travelers Conservation Foundation, making it the first ever hotel brand to be so honored.

Hampton Hotels has worked hard to make a mark in this arena, which has not only won them an award and saved 21 historic places, but brought tourist dollars to the out-of-the-way corners of the country that are host to the landmarks.

You can nominate future landmarks for preservation (and vote on the eventual contenders) at Hampton Hotels' Save-A-Landmark site, hamptonlandmarks.com.

Looks like a bit of good karma for Hampton Inns.
