Marriott is pleased to announce that three of their Marriott Vacation Club International timeshare properties have been certified Green, in participation with the Florida Green Lodging Program<\/a>. The Marriott Grande Vista and Marriott Cypress Harbour are both in Orlando, and the Marriott Crystal Shores, a brand new facility which just opened in March 2009, is located on Marco Island.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Florida Green Lodging Program was established in 2004 by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to recognize and reward environmentally conscientious lodging facilities in the state. The program establishes environmental guidelines for hotels and motels to conserve and protect Florida\u2019s natural resources and prevent pollution. In five years since the program began, it has grown exponentially. More and more lodging facilities in Florida are doing their part to protect Florida\u2019s environment, as they serve the 85 million visitors that come to their state each year.<\/p>\n

Want to stay in one of these Green conscious Florida timeshares? Here\u2019s a listing of what each resort offers so you can plan your next Florida vacation:<\/p>\n
