Responsible/Sustainable Tourism
Killa Bhawan is part of an old fort and the restoration was carried keeping in mind the heritage. Local craftsmen and artisans were employed at the time of restoration. The water tanks on top of the fort have been painted in the same colour as the fort to bring in uniformity and allowing it to blend it.
Water is a scarcity in this region, and the staff and guests are educated to save and use as little as possible. The staff are given fair wages and tips from guests are given exclusively to the lower level staff. Although bottled water is offered, the hotel provides safe filtered drinking water and is looking ahead to install a water fountain so guests can refill water bottles. There is minimal single use plastic used and cloth and canvas bags are used for shopping. Waste is segregated and collected by the local municipal organization.
The staff is well looked after and many are from the local areas and have been with the hotel for years. The local music school and organisations receives support from Killa Bhawan. Camel breeders are supported by using their services for camel rides and local arts, crafts and festivals are promoted. The ingredients for food are sourced locally and the cuisine served is local Rajasthani fare.
