Member of Green Globe Platinum
We are delighted to offer Green Globe certified hotel facilities. Platinum Member status is awarded to members that are certified for 10 consecutive years. This is the highest level designation offered by Green Globe and is only possible when a member meets all requisite criteria within the Green Globe Standard for Travel & Tourism (or their sectorial Standard) and have complete the independent and mandatory onsite and desktop audits in alternating years.
Platinum membership is not automatically granted upon completion of these base requirements, but is awarded after a review of overall member performance during the 10 year period to ensure continuous efforts have been made in the key themes: Sustainable Management; Social/Economic; Cultural Heritage; Environment. Green Globe reserves all rights in respect to elevating members to Platinum. Shortly, we will update the certificate of 2024.
