Hotel Monterey Group's Commitment to SDGs
In this workshop, a member of staff educates participants on appropriate table manners, allowing them to understand the proper etiquette involved in dining with others. It is one of our practical learning experiences for educational tours, which are undertaken with appropriate virus prevention measures in place.
We offer breakfast dishes that incorporate regional specialties and local cuisine, and are constantly creating new menus that feature local ingredients and offer a glimpse into the local food culture. We believe that using local ingredients can contribute to the appeal of the area, whilst imitating the traditional food culture of our ancestors helps us to reduce food waste.
In an effort to keep the Great Earthquake disaster in the public consciousness, we periodically participate in events in Sendai City such as the Kizuna Tree Project (launched by Art Francais), and donate funds to JETO Miyagi, an NPO that supports orphans from the earthquake disaster.
We sponsor and participate in many local events, such as the Aoi Matsuri (Hollyhock Festival), the Gion Festival, and the Daimonji Bonfire Festival, which are all traditional events held in Kyoto. We also participate in the Otori Danshi stamp rally, a new project designed to bring to life the vibrant streets of the city using manga characters.
Our staff regularly participate in the municipality's emergency firefighting organization, helping to promote disaster awareness, and engaging in various activities related to community-based disaster prevention.
As part of our efforts to preserve the beautiful beaches of Okinawa, our staff conduct daily cleanings of Tiger Beach (located in front of the hotel) during the summer season, and we also participate in regular cleanups of more than 15 beaches in the Onna Village region organized by the local business community.
Onna Village has undertaken a Coral Village Declaration Project, which aims to make it the most coral-friendly village in the world. In support of this project, we have placed a donation box for the Coral Reef Foundation at the marine counter in the hotel. Donations will help support coral conservation through the work carried out by Onna Village.
