Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel, Cotai Central is set to give the hospitality industry a glimpse of the future of green hotel stays, as the property officially kicks off its “Green Today, Green Every Day” sustainability campaign, an extensive initiative aimed at making hotel stays and its operations as environmentally sound as possible.
With a focus on guest empowerment, through “Make A Green Choice” (MAGC), and other measures such as Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel’s “Monthly Earth Hour”, the program comprises a vast array of tailored solutions ultimately designed to reduce the property’s ecological footprint.
The campaign kicks off at 8:30pm tomorrow night, with the lights of the hotel façade going dark for one hour, part of the property’s “Monthly Earth Hour”, which takes place on the first Tuesday of each month. Guests can also do their part by signing up for MAGC, a guest-empowerment program in which participants can opt out of having their rooms cleaned and towels changed during their stay; helping to reduce the amount of water, cleaning agents, natural resources, and electricity used for cleaning, washing and the creation of amenities. Guests who take part in MAGC will enjoy 250 Starpoints, MOP40 in dining credit, late-check out at 2:00pm (subject to availability), and complimentary welcome drinks at selected hotel restaurants.
“Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel’s ‘Green Today, Green Every Day’ campaign is an extension of our on-going sustainability efforts, and we hope to enlist the help of our guests to further enhance our programs and make an even bigger difference, especially in the areas of water and electricity conservation, and reduction of food waste,” said Janet McNab, Managing Director of Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel, Cotai Central and The St. Regis Macao, Cotai Central.
“Our success in creating effective sustainability programs is just the beginning, and we have exciting plans to employ renewable solar power as one of the hotel’s main sources of energy. The initiative, which is currently in the testing phases, is part of a bigger plan to make Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel a leader in the sustainability space, for hospitality, in Macao and beyond.”
