Hotels around the world are stepping up their sustainable efforts in order to minimise environmental impact. While practices like reducing energy consumption and water wastage are common in many properties today, some hotels have come up with meaningful ways to care for the planet.
For example, there is a resort in Phuket, Thailand that not only organises regular beach clean-ups but also promotes mangrove tree planting across the island. This is part of Outrigger Resort’s Ozone conservation programme, which aims to protect coral reefs while getting the local community involved in taking care of their coastal home.
