Fairmont Launches H2O Adventures |
|
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has launched a series of water-themed travel packages for active, socially responsible families and the eco-consciously inclined. The following "H2O" packages are designed to inspire travelers to get to know the oceans, seas, rivers and waterways that make many Fairmont destinations so unique.
Fairmont's commitment to ocean and freshwater sustainability goes even deeper. In the Pacific Ocean, The Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island of Hawaii partners with the University of Hawaii to monitor the health of the offshore coral reef that fronts the property. Meanwhile, over in the Atlantic Ocean, The Fairmont Royal Pavilion has set up a 'Turtle Patrol' team to protect nesting grounds and help collect data on the hatchlings. These are just two examples of the many ways Fairmont colleagues are actively doing their part to protect our precious sources of water for future generations to enjoy. From the Nile River in Egypt to the glacier-fed waters of Lake Louise in Canada, guests of Fairmont hotels can dive in and experience some fascinating water adventures.
FAIRMONT'S GREEN PARTNERSHIP With a long commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible tourism, Fairmont is a sponsor of the National Geographic Mission Programs as well a member of the WWF global Climate Savers program. For 20 years, Fairmont's Green Partnership has been the company's award-winning environmental program focused on minimizing the impact of hotel operations on the environment.
In addition to publishing "The Green Partnership Guide", a "going green" handbook used by its hotels and others in the hospitality industry, initiatives include recycling and organic waste diversion in the hotel's kitchens, purchasing sustainable seafood, a green conferencing solution dubbed Eco-Meet, retrofitting energy efficient lighting, creating rooftop herb gardens at properties, and redistributing gently used goods and food to those in need.
In delivering this commitment, all Fairmont Hotels & Resort endeavour to:
- Work diligently to minimize the waste stream and conserve natural resources, particularly through energy and water conservation - Value the natural and cultural heritage of all properties, allowing Fairmont to give the guests an authentically local experience - Comply with all applicable environmental legislation and strive to follow best environmental practices - Make environmental considerations an important aspect of decision-making - Review the objectives of the Green Partnership Program on a periodic basis - Build local partnerships in the communities
