Using local product cuts down on the environmental pollution involved with importing and it blends perfectly with the natural environment. They use natural light for lighting the facilities.

The hotel also assists in community work by cleaning its surroundings and giving back to its people. They used solar panels for hot water in the facilities. The decoration of the hotel has been with objects made by local craftsmen. For local food, products are used to promote the development of farming in the canyon.
