InterContinental Dhaka, the iconic luxury hotel by IHG, has become the first hotel in Bangladesh to introduce an AI-powered Glass Bottle Water Plant producing Zero Mile Artisanal Water, setting a significant new benchmark in sustainable hospitality.
The facility was recently inaugurated in the presence of Nasreen Jahan, Chairman of Bangladesh Services Ltd. and Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism; Mohammad Mahbubur Rahman Bhuiyan, Managing Director of Bangladesh Services Ltd. and Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism; David O'Hanlon, General Manager of InterContinental Dhaka; along with Board Members of Bangladesh Services Limited and senior hotel officials, says a press statement.
In partnership with Boon, a global leader in advanced hydration technology, InterContinental Dhaka has installed the state-of-the-art water plant within the hotel premises.
This initiative aims to eliminate the use of single-use plastic water bottles across all guest rooms, restaurants, and banquet venues, significantly reducing plastic waste and supporting a greener future for the hospitality industry in the country.
"As a pioneer, we are privileged to share this sustainable initiative which reflects the hotel's long-standing vision of integrating sustainable practices into our operations and setting new benchmarks for the industry." said David O'Hanlon, General Manager of InterContinental Dhaka.
