ORBITZ SURVEY: 67% OF Americans Stress Importance of Eco-friendly Travel!

Travelers are reassessing how they travel, where they stay and the impact they leave behind when on vacation, according to the Orbits survey (06-23-10).

Conducted by MarketTool’s Zoomertang’s polling service, the Orbitz survey highlights that:

  • More than half (65%) state it would somewhat impact their decision to stay at a hotel if they knew the hotel was using solar or wind energy to supplement the powering of the building.
  • A Strong majority (63%) state they would pay a little more to rent a hybrid vehicle or stay at a "green" hotel.
  • More than half (52%) of Americans state they would be willing to donate a small portion of their vacation budget to help save the environment when booking a trip.

*MarketTool’s Zommerang Methodology….The Orbitz poll was conducted online using MarkeTool’s panel of 320adults ages 19-65, who are regular travelers. Zommerang is a market research service, owned by MarketTool, that directly mangos a nationally-representative online panel of more than 2.5 million individuals, with a global network extending to more than 8 million consumers worldwide.
