"These ambitious targets are aimed at improving the environmental performance of hotels so that they are in line with, if not better than, the world's greenest," said Nasser Al Reyami, ADTA's tourism standards director.
He added that ADTA has received a "tremendous" response to the scheme from the emirate's hoteliers and other tourism industry insiders.
