Intro:

Hotel guests and clients are applauding the bold non-smoking policy of Westin Hotels & Resorts in Australia & the Pacific, who have become smoke free from yesterday.

The Westin Melbourne, The Westin Sydney and The Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa Fiji are the first hotel chain in this region to introduce a 100% no smoking policy following customer data and a clear demand from guests for a healthy, totally smoke free hotel experience.

They follow the lead of Westin’s 77 North America hotels who pioneered the smoke-free policy this past January as part of Westin’s new brand positioning around personal renewal and offering guests services, products and amenities that allow them to relax, rejuvenate and restore during their stay.

One of Westin’s largest clients in this region, research-based medicines company, Pfizer Australia has commended the introduction of the new policy.

“We welcome the move by Westin to provide a smoke free environment for our staff away from our own work place,” comments Pfizer’s Suzanne Blake, Product Manager for Nicorette.
