Water Consumption
Lower consumption, reduce waste water
Water is a valuable commodity. That is why water-saving devices are used in the stores and warehouses to keep the consumption of fresh water as low as possible. Infiltration ditches or partially sealed car parks ensure that rainwater can seep away and return to the natural water cycle.
Conserving drinking water and treating sewage in the hotel industry
Groundwater, lakes, rivers and seas are faced with growing threats of pollution all around the world - a process in which tourism also plays a role. The consequences: preparation and supply of drinking water are becoming more and more complicated as well as increasingly expensive. Vitally important, precious drinking water, which makes up less than 0.3 per cent of the world's water resources and is in ever shorter supply, is the primary form of consumption in the hotel industry, just as in almost all other sectors.
Water consumption of several hundred litres per guest and per day? That is common in many resort hotels, but it is not unavoidable. That is why REWE Package Tours encourages its approximately 5000 hotel contract partners to use water in full awareness of their responsibility and provides help in the form of the brochure, "The Resort Hotel - Achieving Success Through Ecological and Social Responsibility".
