Water supplies at our destinations Print page

In countries in which water is scarce, conflicts arise time and again between the requirements of the tourist sector and the needs of the local population, and of local farmers in particular. The water consumption of the tourist sector is also often hugely disproportionate to that of the local people.

Kuoni’s aim here is to ensure adequate access to water for all at destinations where the water needs of the tourist industry clash with those of the local farmers and population. Our efforts in this respect have already extended to a pioneering project in Mombasa, Kenya in which small dams have been built to provide the villages in the hills with their own water supplies. In addition to this, we also conduct intensive one-day training sessions with our partner hotels on how to save and treat water and how waste water can be cleaned.
