More than 150 delegates are expected to attend the Hotelier Middle East Sustainability Summit on May 20.
The inaugural Hotelier Middle East Sustainability Summit, which will be held on May 20 at The Ritz-Carlton Dubai, will be carbon neutral.
Hotelier Middle East has partnered with Farnek to ensure the carbon emissions at the event will be offset by MyClimate’s carbon offset programme, which replaces climate-impacting energy sources with clean, renewable ones by supporting projects that use renewable energy, cut methane emissions, and support reforestation programmes.
More than 150 delegates have been confirmed for the one-day event, which will bring together general managers, F&B directors, hotel engineers, and housekeepers, who are leading green initiatives in their properties.
