We know that tourism can have a big impact on the environment, so we are committed to doing our part to promote sustainable tourism. We call it “responsible luxury.”
Why is sustainable tourism important? Well, it enables us to protect the environment by minimizing the negative impact that tourism can have on ecosystems, natural resources, and habitats. By adopting sustainable tourism practices, we can each contribute to preserving the planet for future generations. Additionally, by providing sustainable tourism options, we can encourage fellow travellers and guests to make eco-friendly travel choices, leading to a collective positive impact on the environment.
So, what are we doing to be sustainable? For starters, we’ve installed three electric vehicle charging stations to encourage the use of electric cars and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We’ve also ditched single-use plastic water bottles and now offer guests cardboard carton water instead. This change alone has saved about two tons of plastic waste!
In our hotel rooms, we’ve reduced paper usage by 90% thanks to a digital in-room compendium and the Hotel X pocket concierge app. We’ve also installed compact fluorescent energy-saving light bulbs throughout the hotel to reduce our energy consumption and carbon footprint.
Finally, we encourage guests to participate in our towel and linen reuse program. By opting to reuse towels or skip daily linen changes, you can help conserve energy and water. In fact, adopting this method can save up to 50 litres of water per guest each day.
At Hotel X, we believe that sustainable tourism is essential for preserving the planet and promoting responsible tourism practices. We are committed to continuously improving our sustainability practices and reducing our environmental impact. We hope you’ll choose to stay with us and support sustainable tourism.
