Due to the risks and the high focus on development in Africa, South Africa was selected as one of Hilton's initial pilot locations. So far, an in-depth risk analysis has been carried out, including gathering information about actions taken to date, local stakeholders and impacts seen from the local water crisis. This information has been used to create a set of recommendations for actions which is being reviewed to determine priorities for activation. Actions already taken include increasing guest communication and awareness, and implementing strict water saving measures such as removing bath plugs to necessitate use of showers instead and providing hand sanitizer rather than hand soap which requires water.
