Once you have become certified "Virginia Green" let the visitors to Virginia know it!
Your lodging listing on Virginia.org will have the Virginia Green logo and the 5 million annual visitors to the site can find you by searching our Green Lodging. Virginia.org is ready to take Virginia Green to the next level and, quite simply, we need your help.
Virginia.org is seeking green packages, promotions and discounts, and eco-friendly events.
We have an existing promotion on Virginia.org that may help you generate ideas. The criterion we have set forth to determine what is considered a green promotion or discount is simple.
You will find a new checkbox in the Virginia.org Administration Tool for “Green” as a subcategory*. You may check “Green” if your package**, promotion or discount includes at least one of the following:
- A stay at a Virginia Green certified lodging facility
- Dining provided by a Virginia Green certified restaurant (where available)
Also include - Activities are environmentally friendly (recycling on site, walking/biking encouraged, an eco tour is included, etc.)
Eco-friendly Events – An eco-friendly event may embrace environmental, wildlife and/or preservation education. It must recycle and instill “leave-no-trace” practices.
*The Virginia Tourism Corporation Electronic Marketing staff will remove green as a subcategory from any listing that does not meet this criterion.
**If you require a refresher on what constitutes a package, please click here.
Log on to the Virginia.org Administration Tool to start adding your green packages, promotions and discounts.
