As a result of member requests, Orlando, Fla.-based travel organization AAA is launching a program to highlight AAA-approved lodgings that have been eco-certified through a well-established government
or private program.
A bright green "ECO" symbol will help travelers identify eco-friendly lodgings in the new 2010 editions of the AAA TourBook guides and on AAA.com. In addition, travelers
will be able to customize their hotel searches on AAA.com to show green properties first in their search results.
AAA provides more than 51 million members with travel, insurance, financial and
automotive-related services.--Tanya Irwin
