A Step Towards a Greener Future.
Sustainability is no longer just a choice; it’s a necessity. At our first Annual General Meeting (AGM) at Serena, we proudly took a stand against plastic waste. In a collective effort to promote environmental responsibility, plastic bottles were replaced with elegant glass alternatives, marking a significant shift in how hotels, lodges, and restaurants approach sustainability.
Leading by Example
The hospitality and tourism industry plays a crucial role in shaping sustainable practices, and we’re thrilled to see more establishments adopting eco-conscious initiatives. Serena Hotels and other participating venues demonstrated their commitment to reducing plastic waste by eliminating plastic bottles from their service. Instead, guests were provided with glass bottles, a small but impactful change that aligns with global sustainability goals.
Why This Matters
Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues today, with millions of plastic bottles ending up in landfills and oceans each year. By switching to glass, we reduce plastic waste, encourage recycling, and promote a cleaner, healthier planet. This initiative is not just about aesthetics; it’s about responsibility.
The Future of Sustainable Tourism
The move towards sustainability is gaining momentum across Uganda’s tourism sector. More hotels, lodges, and restaurants are recognizing the importance of reducing single-use plastics, implementing eco-friendly alternatives, and adopting responsible tourism practices. By supporting these initiatives, travelers and businesses can collectively contribute to a more sustainable future.
Join the Movement
As we move forward, we encourage everyone—businesses, travelers, and industry stakeholders—to embrace sustainability. Whether it’s choosing accommodations that prioritize eco-friendly practices, reducing plastic use in daily life, or supporting brands that promote sustainability, every action counts.
At our first AGM, we set a new standard, proving that sustainability and hospitality go hand in hand. Let’s continue making conscious choices for our environment, one step at a time.
