@cnbctravel: Singapore is adding an eco-luxury twist to its tourism mix. The Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree sits next to the Singapore Zoo — the first hotel inside the city's expanding Mandai Wildlife Reserve. ➡️ Spanning 4.6 hectares, it features 338 rooms, including 24 treehouse suites perched above the trees. It’s Banyan Group’s first property in Singapore, and the city’s first resort to receive the Green Mark Super Low Energy certification from the Building and Construction Authority. ➡️ Globally, the number of hotels earning sustainability certifications jumped 20% in 2023, and according to Booking.com, 93% of travelers now say they want eco-friendly stays. CNBC’s Monica Pitrelli takes us inside.
