Caring for destination

This accommodation provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.

Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  

Reducing the resort's usage of electricity, water and waste and keep our bay free of pollution.

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

To reduce the resort's impact to the surrounding environment and wherever possible, introduce eco-friendly measures to minimise waste and pollution.
In order to minimise our footprint, we have installed a high-tech eco-water sewerage treatment plant which recycles grey water for our garden's needs.

In addition, all showers have water saver shower heads drastically reducing our water consumption.

Moorings Hotel introduced the first key card room access system which controls all the power consumption of the rooms. This is a major saving on our electricity usage (main power in Port Vila is generated by large diesel generators which produce carbon emissions).

Guests are encouraged to re-use towels in order to reduce laundry power comsumption and the release of detergents in our grey water.

Rooms have been designed for guests to take advantage of the natural sea breezes. Classic wooden plantation shutters have been installed throughout allowing natural cross ventilation, reducing the need for electric fans or air conditioning usage.

We have the most stunning turquoise bay lapping at the edges of the resort for all to enjoy, hence we are responsible to keep it in pristine order. In order to achieve this, we have rostered staff on a daily basis to collect any rubbish that floats in.

We also actively encourage our guests and staff to suggest ways on how the resort can be a better friend to the environment.
