Ramada Ajman boosts green initiatives

Ramada Hotel and Suites Ajman beefs up its green initiatives through a series of awareness programs on waste management to different sectors including schools, government entities and private companies.

The property recently gave a tour and a brief lecture about the zero landfill project to students from Al Manar Iman School, to communicate the importance of recycling and proper waste disposal, especially to the younger generation. Ramada Ajman also hosted a number of site visits in its compost and recycling centre, as well as in the urban farm, to various groups including representatives from Dubai Municipality, international visitors from Prague, Czech Republic, teachers from Umm Suqeim Model School, and Green Hope UAE volunteers, among others.

Iftikhar Hamdani, Ramada Ajman’s General Manager who pioneered the environmental initiatives, commented: “Our team aims to reach out and impart our knowledge on proper waste management, not just in Ajman, but also in other emirates. We hope that through these initiatives, we can motivate both public and private entities to join us in our efforts in protecting the environment for the future generations.”

Hamdani is also actively taking part as speaker in several sustainability conferences to share the hotel’s green initiatives. He was one of the speakers in the recent Hospitality Expansion ME Congress; his conferences in 2014 include World Food Day, Hotel Show’s Vision Conference 2014, Hotelier ME’s Sustainability Summit and the inaugural UAE Green Festival.
