“From the pre-opening stage of each hotel and resort, sustainable tourism drives our choices. The ways we conserve ecological resources, the positive impacts we can have on our communities, and the ways we can ensure sustainable growth are woven into each property’s operations. Because many of our guests care about these causes as much as we do, we take pride in facilitating meaningful guest involvement – from reef rehabilitation to English teaching to elephant conservation.”

“We minimise water consumption in all areas of our hotels through the combined efforts of guests and associates by implementing a number of initiatives. The installation of sink aerators as well as low-flow showers and toilets lessens the amount of wasted water. We use a minimally efficient amount of water when cleaning. We are also mindful that every drop counts, knowing that small steps, such as turning off taps when brushing teeth, will accumulate into even greater savings.”

“We reduce energy consumption by at least 10% annually in line with hotel group requirements. We make energy saving investments; buying the most energy efficient equipment available, placing energy-efficient lighting around the hotels, turning off all unnecessary lights, as well as computers and other electronic appliances when not being used, and using air conditioners mindfully.”

“We combat pollution through reducing, reusing and recycling solid waste which impacts landfills, and by cooperating with local waste management companies. In support of our new waste management direction, we have composting programmes, and purchase products which are durable, repairable and able to be recycled.”
