Environmental and Cultural Awareness

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

Dokchampa Hotel takes the following measures to try and minimize their impact to the local environment and community:

- Installed key tags in all guest rooms to help minimise excessive and unnecessary use of electricity, especially high polluting and high energy consuming appliances such as air conditioning units when guests are not in their rooms. By staying at Dokchampa Hotel and using the key tags properly, you and the property are helping to reduce the world's energy consumption and HCFC emissions from air conditioning units.

- Keeps all guest rooms as non smoking. By having no smoking rooms, this preserves the life of the rooms meaning curtains and bedding don't need to be replaced as often and walls don't have to be repainted as regularly. By reducing these cleaning materials and costs, hotels with a no smoking room policy reduce the amount of harsh cleaning chemicals and detergents, water, energy and paint that is used on an annual basis as well preserving the life of the room and its furnishings therefore reducing excess consumption of all elements.

- Displays educational posters for foreign guests on the cultural Do's and Don'ts in Laos to help maximize the visit for both the visitor and the local. By taking note of these appropriate cultural behaviours and acting respectfully towards the local community, you will enhance your experience and not offend anyone.
