How We Implement Sustainability in the Hospitality Industry
Odyssey has recently pledged to promote sustainable travel by signing the UNESCO Sustainable Travel Pledge. The pledge comprises five pillars that Odyssey strives to improve: community engagement, energy conservation, water conservation, waste reduction, and single-use plastic reduction. As part of our commitment, we have initiated the transition of interior lighting to LED light bulbs, and currently, over 80% of our lighting is already energy-saving. We aim to reach 100% energy-saving LED lighting in all our properties by 2024. Resorts are also equipped with water dispensers to promote the use of reusable water bottles.
If you're looking for an eco-friendly travel option, Odyssey is the perfect choice! By choosing our properties over other options, you're making a responsible decision and contributing towards sustainable tourism. Odyssey is committed to sustainability in hospitality, taking small yet impactful steps towards making a change. When we look at the bigger picture, these efforts can create a more sustainable future for all. From using eco-friendly products to supporting local businesses, every step taken is a step towards a brighter future for the planet.
