Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

Hotels around the world care for reducing wastes to make our mother nature a better place to life. Everyone in the hotel should have a role in saving the environment. The hotel encourages guests and staff to contribute in making the hotel greener!

Savoy Sharm Beach Resort is aware of eco-tourism on several levels. First of all, Savoy Sharm gives priority to hiring local people who are aware of the danger of neglecting the environment, and provides lectures about the importance of saving the environment.

The hotel also has strict rules about water sports that damage the most important treasures, the local Red Sea coral reefs. In addition, the hotel tries to only use organic food.

Moreover, the hotel gives its guests the opportunity to take part in excursions in order to untroduce them to the surrounding local community and to learn a bit of the local language during their stay; this promotes greater cultural exchange and understanding. Guests are also asked to help in preserving local culture and to respect local values.
