Following the meeting, the parties discussed the possible further integration of the HCMI Program into the hotel business.
 
For reference: HCMI is a methodology and tool developed by the International Tourism Partnership (ITP) and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) in partnership with KPMG and 23 international hotel companies. HCMI applies the principles of the Corporate hotel-level greenhouse gas (GHG) protocol standard. HCMI allows hotels to measure and report carbon emissions in a consistent way. It can be used by any hotel, from small hotel lodges to 5-star resorts in any geographic area.
