The Nuwara Eliya Hotel Association recently organized a two-day workshop at Araliya Green City Hotel, bringing together professionals from the region’s hospitality sector. The sessions focused on water treatment and wastewater management, key areas for hotels in eco-sensitive zones like Nuwara Eliya. As tourism grows, hotels face the challenge of balancing guest comfort with environmental responsibility. This workshop provided a timely platform for industry professionals to gain practical skills and knowledge on implementing sustainable water solutions, ensuring hotels meet both operational and regulatory standards.
Proper water treatment and wastewater management are essential for hotels to maintain hygiene, safety, and operational efficiency. During the workshop, experts shared guidance on filtration techniques, plant maintenance, and recycling methods suited for hospitality environments. Participants learned how efficient systems reduce contamination risks, improve guest satisfaction, and enhance overall service quality. The discussions also highlighted financial benefits, such as lower utility bills, reduced repair costs, and longer equipment lifespan. By adopting these strategies, hotels can minimize environmental impact, comply with sustainability regulations, and operate more smoothly. Furthermore, effective water management fosters community trust and protects local ecosystems, which is particularly important in regions like Nuwara Eliya with high ecological sensitivity.
The workshop successfully combined education, skill development, and industry collaboration. Participants left with practical knowledge on maintaining water and wastewater systems while optimizing costs and sustainability. In addition, the event coincided with International Housekeeping Appreciation Week, celebrating the dedication of housekeeping teams, whose work directly impacts cleanliness, guest satisfaction, and operational success. By emphasizing teamwork across all departments—from engineering to housekeeping—the program reinforced the link between sustainable practices and high-quality service. Overall, the workshop strengthened the capacity of hotels to operate responsibly, enhance guest experiences, and protect the environment. Through initiatives like this, the Nuwara Eliya Hotel Association demonstrates leadership in promoting sustainability, professional development, and industry excellence.
“Sustainable operations and empowered teams together create hotels that serve both guests and the environment responsibly.”
