This article presents an account of the effectiveness of implementing eco initiatives to recycle water and
food waste in selected Cape Town hotels as well as whether these initiatives would be a successful future
endeavour to pursue. It suggests corporate travel policies demand travellers to seek out environmentally
friendly hotels. The research strategy gathers facts relevant to the theory of the article. Therefore,
it employs a multi-strategy research approach as it was effective to corroborate the findings from both
quantitative and qualitative data. Case studies, questionnaires and interviews were utilised and the article
shows that earthworm farms convert organic food waste into usable compost and reduces the production
of waste. Rainwater harvesting further stores captured rainwater for future use and serves as an alternative
source of surface water. The findings show a positive response from hotel staff towards implementing
these initiatives which suggests it would be a successful future endeavour.
