Water and charity: Philanthropic approaches to water
Besides from the potential for an individual property to educate immediate stakeholders about water issues, many hotels/ hotel chains choose to interact and support broader water charity and conservation efforts. Larger hotel chains may set up their own water conservation groups, or become a primary sponsor of an existing one.
For smaller hotels, there are numerous charities and schemes that are always looking for partners. One example is Whole World Water, which encourages the tourism industry to filter, bottle and sell their own water supply and give 10% of the proceeds to the Whole World Water Fund, which seeks to provide clean and safe drinking water for everyone.
