Eco-cuisine

This means that our menus incorporate seasonal and organically grown foods wherever possible. The emphasis is on healthy, environmentally friendly and delicious food, but also includes the following:

• Refillable water jugs used instead of water bottles.

• Milk and sugar served in bulk.

• China used instead of disposable items of cutlery.

• Linen napkins replace paper ones.

• Organic beverages (wine or tea) to be available. Fairmont Dubai's tea collection was created by the Metropolitan Tea Company, the only North American member of the Ethical Tea Sourcing Partnership.

• Sustainable, organic cuisine served where possible.

• Seafood choices available.

• Vegetarian options available.

Eco-programming

This provides activities and guest-speakers to complement the experience. Whether it's a keynote address, a full-day team building eco-experience or something else, Fairmont's eco-programming educates and informs meeting delegates while providing an innovative and exceptional service.

Alka Patel is the public relations manager for The Fairmont Dubai.
