Furthermore, each of their hotels is proudly LEED certified, which positions them at the forefront of using environmentally conscious construction techniques.

The presence of thriving bee colonies supported by Fairmont’s roofs plays a role in preserving our environment's health and well-being. The advantages of embracing sustainability are much greater than the expenses involved. Fairmont Hotels and Resorts showcase how incorporating methods into the hospitality sector can improve efficiency and promote a connection with nature—an exemplary model for others to embrace in creating a greener future. #HOTEL752 #HOSPITALITY #ECOFRIENDLY #TOURISM Prof Sara Harrel
