CONTEST DAY: Would you stay at this resort?
An article in today’s Arizona Republic, the statewide newspaper owned by Gannett, reports on the strategic moves that one hotel is making towards going green and getting greener. Wild Horse Pass Resort & Hotel, the articles states, is making several changes, but I noted a few that were beyond what I think is the norm. They have, for example:
_chosen a hybrid vehicle, the Yukon, over the Hummer, to transport guests from the hotel to the golf course and equestrian center.
_stopped buying Arrowhead and now use water that is bottled on the Gila River Reservation (where the resort is located) to decrease the carbon footprint.
_contracted with Arizona Pacific Pulp and Paper to pick up items that can be recycled.
I’m impressed. But does that make you want to stay at this resort?
Post a comment below–TODAY–and I’ll enter you in a contest to win that Bubblebath I still want to give away. If more than 10 people post TODAY, I’ll add a Phoenix logo item–a cover for your luggage handle–which makes it more comfortable to carry heavy loads. No limits on the bubblebath, though. One person, one comment, will be enough for that.

I don’t think it would be the deciding factor, but it would make me feel good about staying there – kind of like the opposite of buyer’s remorse.
Good point, Josh.
You’re my first contestant. Thanks for visiting and posting.

Great idea for your contest – include me in!! I have attended conferences at the Wild Horse Pass Resort and I would go back. Knowing what they are doing to be “green” leads me to believe they are consicous of important items in their service and amenities! I enjoy your Phoenix views!
