The Journey of Green Living Is A Solid Living

Avani Hotels and Resorts is constantly reinforcing its commitment towards environmental, social and cultural conservation. Around the world, they work in partnership with local communities and promote cultural awareness among guests by integrating indigenous cultures into everyday experiences.

Special consideration is given to employing and empowering communities, and wherever possible, sustainable products and services are sourced locally.

The consumption of single-use plastic water bottles at Avani Victoria Falls is 148,000 annually. They are working with Vivreau to reduce this by placing sealed glass water bottles in all rooms each day and doing away with as many of the plastic water bottles as possible.

Avani is training all staff in proper recycling techniques to ensure that everyone understands the benefits. A two-bin system is being implemented for easier recycling.
