Information and encouragement for guests on the back of the key card:
We are also generally keen to reduce our use of paper and have therefore moved more and more to digital platforms and away from marketing and information on paper.
We can introduce many great measures to ensure a greener future, but we also need to include our guests in a green mindset. We therefore encourage our guests to e.g. use the towel several times, not change the bed every day, drink water from the tap, order the right amount of food, etc.
Thank you for helping to make a difference!
