We are happy to be a part of the Green Globe where it is essential to unify the efforts and reinforce the environmental sustainability practice in order to find solutions that encourage the environmental culture and to maintain a highly qualified sustainable environment that suits with the government lifestyle. The garbage of the entire hotel was sorted out in the garbage room to achieve the required quantity of cans.
