The Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara recently received its Green Globe Certification (GGC) by Farnek Consulting. The room management system which controls air conditioning and lighting has so far this year delivered a 22% reduction in electricity costs and there has been a 37% reduction in propane (LPG).
In addition the hotel has launched a waste segregation and recycling room, which creates awareness among all members of staff. The hotel now recycles 13% (an increase of 7%) of its overall garbage including plastic, glass, paper, cardboard and cooking oil. The hotel also has its own onsite sewerage treatment plant, drastically reducing water consumption, by reusing grey water to irrigate the hotel grounds.
According to Wael Soueid, general manager of the The Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, said: “Sustainability is not a fad or a project it has to become integral to operational procedures. Naturally, we are all acutely aware of our local environment and we have to accept responsibility for our own carbon footprint.”
