Zero-waste hotels will be an instrument part of promoting “zero-waste city construction” across Sanya. The Sanya government, along with enterprises and citizens, will form a joint task force for “zero-waste city construction.” More green initiatives dedicated to helping Sanya develop into a replicable zero-waste model city will be carried out in hotels across the city.
