Travel Life Award: Sustainability in tourism
We are proud to have received high ranked certificate for our input in helping the environment. Aqua Nevis Club Hotel successfully attained the Travelife Gold status. The Travelife scheme awards hotels who improve their environmental management and social policy by working with and contributing to the local community. To gain the award, Hotel Odessos had to report their environmental footprint to independent auditors and adhere to internationally recognized standard of Best Practice. There is a strict selection process to achieve the award. The Travelife auditor looks at employment records and energy bills, interviews staff, and inspects the property thoroughly to ensure excellent environmental management. The scheme also examines the social policy of the business taking into account staff issues and community relations to mention a few.
The Gold status is given to businesses that display a very high commitment to sustainability and who encourage others to get involved, constantly seek new opportunities for improvement, and actively communicate their progress to others. With Travelife Gold Award the Aqua Nevis Club Hotel has shown great dedication to sustainable tourism for many years now.
