CSR INITIATIVES
Holiday Inn Queenstown Frankton Road offers a modern and welcoming retreat overlooking Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables. Our hotel embraces the Tikanga Māori principle of kaitiakitanga (stewardship). We believe in our direct responsibility for the environment and are dedicated to implementing robust environmental practices.
Our dedicated team ensures exceptional service, making every guest feel welcomed and part of the family. We pride ourselves on being proactive towards sustainability and reducing our environmental footprint.
GO DIGITAL
In our ongoing effort to minimise our environmental footprint, we prioritise the use of electronic platforms over traditional paper-based methods. By transitioning to digital solutions, we significantly reduce our reliance on printing and stationery, which not only conserves natural resources but also cuts down on waste production.
SWITCHING OFF WHEN NOT NEEDED
Energy conservation is a key component of our sustainability strategy. At Holiday Inn Queenstown Frankton Road, we are committed to reducing our energy consumption by ensuring that all power-consuming units are switched off when not in use. By taking these simple yet effective steps, we can significantly reduce our energy usage, lowering our carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable environment.
Reducing Single-Use Plastics
We are committed to eliminating single-use plastics by replacing items like straws and cutlery with sustainable alternatives and using refillable dispensers for amenities. This approach reduces waste and supports an eco-friendlier operation.
ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS & TRACKING
We are dedicated to minimising our environmental impact by incorporating eco-friendly products throughout our operations. To ensure our efforts are effective, we track and manage our environmental impact through data-driven analysis, continuously refining our practices.
CHOOSING ‘GOING GREEN’ DURING YOUR STAY
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we offer guests the option to participate in our 'Going Green' program. By choosing this option during your stay, you help reduce resource consumption. We will only tidy your room, replenish essential consumables, and remove rubbish, minimising unnecessary use of water, energy, and cleaning products. This small but impactful choice allows you to contribute to our environmental efforts while enjoying your stay.
