Green Tourism

At the Best Western Royal we are committed to continually improving our working practices to help protect the environment.

The measures we have implemented are:

• We segregate our waste where possible for recycling.
• Where possible we use low energy light bulbs in all areas of the hotel.
• We use local produce wherever possible.
• The oil from our kitchen is recycled into bio-fuel.
• We recycle waste paper.
• We turn down the heating rather than opening windows.
• Guest TV’s are not left on standby.
• We have a towel re-use scheme in our bathrooms.
• Lights are switched off when not in use.
• We have certain lights that operate from sensors and switch off automatically.
• We have measures in place to reduce energy consumption.
• Environmental issues form part of staff training and induction procedures.
• We have information on local transport, cycle and walking routes available at reception. We advertise environmentally friendly activities in a customized folder at reception. 
• We have implemented procedures within our office environment to cut down on the use of paper resources & postage.
• We continually review our working practices to ensure we are as energy efficient as possible.
