Sustainable Hotels - PHIST Interview with GM of JW Marriott Phuket

[HD video and interview below] Exclusive HD video interview with Mr. Matthias Y. Sutter, General Manager of the JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa.

In this interview filmed at the resort on Mai Khao beach in the north of Phuket, we ask Mr. Sutter about the different sustainable initiatives the resort is undertaking and what plans they have for the future.

The interview took place on the morning of 24 September, just a few hours before the inaugural PHIST (Phuket Hotels for Islands Sustaining Tourism) forum took place in the hotel's ballroom.

In the interview, Mr. Matthias tells us about the very new initiative the resort has just launched to do away with the complimentary plastic water bottles that used to be placed in the rooms and replace them with refillable water bottles.

He tells us how that has been received by guests, whether there is a choice between still and sparkling and what they now do about the fact that guests can no longer take their free water to the pool area.

We also talk about paper bills, solar power and many other things in the video and podcast below.
