Water Saving Scheme A Success In Morocco
Water-saving scheme "a success" in Morocco by Cheap Flights Booker UK
A project to reduce water use at hotels and guest houses in Morocco has reportedly been a success.
The Moroccan National Tourist Office (MNTO) revealed that an initiative it is pursuing with the Travel Foundation has helped accommodation providers in Marrakech and Essaouira reduce their water consumption by up to 25% this year.
One year"s worth of savings under the scheme is thought to be the equivalent of the annual water consumption of a village of 2,000 people.
Ali El Kasmi, director of the MNTO in London, said: "Our vision of responsible and sustainable tourism goes beyond plans and strategies - it is reflected in the action taken by businesses and the results they get.
"Our partnership with the British Travel Foundation … has already achieved substantial water savings and these results will be important to guide future projects for this partnership in 2010 and beyond."
So far, 46 hotels and 44 guest houses have been audited, some of which have implemented water-saving methods including regular checks for leaks and the use of flow reducers.
