Shangri-La bans sharks fin

Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts has declared that dishes containing shark’s fin will no longer be offered in its 72 hotels and resorts worldwide as part of its “Sustainable Food Policy.”  The international hotel chain said it will also be phasing out its bluefin tuna and Chilean sea bass dishes.

“The new policy is a continuation of Shangri-la’s journey towards environmental support. Shangri-La will continue to review and refine its overall programmes including environmental and sustainability issues,” it said.
