Bottle Refunds, And More

Hotel Booking Anyone who plunks down a buck for a drink that otherwise comes free from a water tap won't worry about getting pennies back for the plastic container. That's partly why 3 million plastic water bottles each day get dumped in California trash cans instead of recycling bins. It's also why legislation to double the redemption value on plastic bottles and a statewide consumer-awareness campaign won't by themselves solve this growing environmental mess.

Each time that all of the following occurs (a "Booking"), the TRAVEL AGENT is entitled to earn 50% of the commission paid by the hotel to CyberCapeTown. the TRAVEL AGENT gets a reservation confirmation for a hotel room on behalf of a guest on the CyberCapeTown.com web site; the guest stays at the hotel based on the confirmed reservation; and the reservation is not cancelled, exchanged, refunded or rebated, the hotel pays a commission to CyberCapeTown.com.

Travel Agency It's not a household problem. Cities and trash haulers make it easy for homeowners to recycle, letting them mingle different kinds of recyclables in the same bin and providing curbside pickup. As a result, compliance is high.

Flight Booking Using a grant from the state Department of Conservation, San Francisco puts bottle recycling bins atop many sidewalk trash cans. The homeless and nonprofit groups are welcome to empty these and get the redemption refund, which they do. San Francisco and Berkeley offer free recycling service to businesses and reduce their regular pickup fees if they recycle enough.

The research study also demonstrates that travel agents are increasing their reliance on GDS systems for hotel information. Nearly 90% of travel agents say that they use their GDS and GDS shopping displays as much or more today than two years ago. Travel agents also report increased use of hotel property Web sites compared to two years ago. Travel agents are less likely now to use printed hotel directories, direct mail, fax, and the phone to gather information about hotels.

Travel Agent Los Angeles has just started similar programs, including putting recycling receptacles at the zoo and other public places. A pilot effort targets some businesses. But it's tough to put a cohesive plan in place because most of the city's businesses are served by a patchwork of private haulers.
