Since last year we have become members of the ConservAgua program.
ConservAgua is a program that promotes the sustainable use of natural resources, specially water. The program includes hotels, as well as tourists that visit them. Personnel training and guests' awareness are two important factors for the success of the program.
Objectives:
To achieve rational use of water through awareness of consume, reuse and recycle of this life-giving liquid.
To reduce polluting agents and waste of water through programs that reduce laundry works at hotels.
To demonstrate that environmental protection is profitable.
