Landscaping our resorts’ gardens with a purpose 38

Leading responsible tourism丨Regreening

Regreening: what is it?

Regreening is our program to regenerate and increase green areas in our resorts, prioritising native species.

The importance of plants and green spaces Plants provide numerous benefits for the environment: they serve to control heat, absorb CO2 and filter water.

And It has been shown that being surrounded by green spaces contributes to people's well-being.

By rethinking how we manage green spaces in our hotels we increase our guest experience and continue to drive positive environmental practises.

What are we aiming for 2030?

-

Green spaces will cover 25% of all our properties At least 50% local species in our gardens We will implement rigorous controls of invasive species To measure and reduce water use in all our properties
