El Segundo, CA/Waltham, MA — Green Housing Solution, Sustainable Meetings & Conventions has licensed Passkey’s GroupMAXTM technology as its “green” event housing solution.
In an effort to further build on its environmental focus, Green Housing Solution made a conscious decision to join forces with Passkey in order to offer group bookings online. With GroupMAX’s ability to process all hotel bookings electronically, Green Housing Solution lessens the environmental impact by saving resources and reducing waste, which is compatible with its environmentally responsible policies and value propositions.
With over three decades of combined industry experience, both domestic and international, Green Housing Solution has acquired specialized knowledge in full-service housing and hotel management, and by implementing ever-rising sustainable standards, it encourages responsible business decisions. With initiatives such as green hotel contracts and the use of carbon footprint calculations, each of its clients is moving one step closer to greening their events, while achieving Corporate Social Responsibility.
GroupMAX allows Green Housing Solution to provide its clients with an environmentally friendly housing management solution. Planners can log in from any virtual location, manage their event from one interactive screen, track reservation pace, as well review reports and reservations. GroupMAX’s personalized hotel booking website allows attendees to book their hotel rooms online, exhibitors can submit their rooming lists, while the guest dashboard provides a wide range of information about the hotel, event, as well as other travel options and special offers. Ultimately, these innovative features will save resources, time, and money for the planner, attendee, and hotels.
“Passkey is the perfect fit with Green Housing Solution’s environmentally responsible operations. Its automated features minimize the need for paper, manual labor, and reduces overall waste and cost. Selecting the right technology and tools, such as GroupMAX is crucial to our success,” said Viera Ewell of Green Housing Solution. “We strive to have a positive business impact on our customer’s events, and by adding the environmental dimension we can generate ecological awareness and encourage clients to be pro-active in the green investment era. Passkey’s efficient technology is an additional tool we can offer and readily implement in our green solution portfolio," added Eva Yanni-Rosenlund, co-founder of the company.
Green Housing Solution is committed to spreading the environmental message within the meeting and convention industry. Eva Yanni-Rosenlund has joined the board of the Green Meeting Industry Council (GMIC), Southern California chapter to bring the hotel perspective into the sustainability equation. GMIC is a premier global community solely dedicated to sustainability, not only through education but also by spearheading environmental research, policy and standards in the meetings and events industry.
