The programme, under the guidance of new general manager Christophe Laure, is intended to involve the hotel’s staff in the conservation and embellishment of the area through frequent clean-ups of its surrounding streets, beach and general areas. Mr Laure’s aim is “to create an environmental awareness among the workforce, thus contributing to our nearby neighbours and the community, whilst maintaining our five star appearance”.

The InterContinental em-barked on their first initiative last week, when the hotel’s executive team gathered in front of the hotel at 6:30am to power-hose the surrounding area.

This first activity marked the beginning of the initiatives that will continue throughout the year, to give St Julian’s a first-class appearance.
