They still have no water:
703,000,000 people

Save water
Your hotel guests consume a significant amount of water every day. A 100-room hotel could incur annual operating costs exceeding 25,000 euros. Conserving water can make you and your guests feel better about water consumption.
Our water conservation in hotel industry initiative can help you conserve approximately 100 litres of water per room night. Guests can easily donate the water they’ve saved by simply scanning a QR code to support a water project of their choice.
A small 5-cent donation per room sold can provide a day’s worth of clean drinking water for a family in need.
- Save 100 litres of water per room night
- Lower energy costs
- Let guests pick their own water project
Watch the numbers soar
Calculate your potential savings
Conserving water may appear to be an overwhelming responsibility beyond your control. It doesn’t have to be that way! By shaving just 15 seconds off their shower time, guests can easily offset the 5-cent donation for 100 litres of water. Every second of water conservation translates to money saved. Run a simple calculation to uncover the potential profits awaiting you.
