Chinese people have an intense awareness of eco-friendly traveling and 83 percent of them consider themselves as sustainable travelers, a key industry survey found.

The number of travelers staying in an eco-friendly or "green" accommodation at least once could rise this year in China with 98 percent of Chinese travelers expressing their intention to do so, compared with 65 percent of global travelers expressing that intention, according to findings released by the Sustainable Travel Report.

The report was released by Booking.com, part of the Priceline Group which is an international player in booking accommodation online.
