It includes one night’s accommodations at one of Gaylord Hotels’ four properties, located in some of America’s most popular destinations, including the Washington, D.C. metro area, just outside of Orlando, Fla., in the heart of America’s Country Music Capital, Nashville, Tenn., and in the Dallas/Ft. Worth-area, in the Lone Star State.
“At Gaylord Hotels, we have an active and committed ‘Get Green’ program at all of our properties,” said Amy Atkinson, vice president of leisure marketing and public relations, Gaylord Hotels. “From our LED lighting project at Gaylord Texan to the state-of-the-art laundry facilities at Gaylord Opryland and efficiency campaign at Gaylord National, our long tradition of corporate and environmental responsibility has driven us both to the inception of the Rooms for Good program, and also to Conservation International as this month’s partner.”
