Kuramathi Maldives has announced that they have been awarded Travelife Gold status once again. Travelife is an internationally recognized certification system promoting sustainability within the tourism industry.
Kuramathi has received the certification for the tenth year in a row, demonstrating its commitment to monitoring and controlling social and environmental impacts. The status was awarded to the resort after an on-site assessment and extensive evaluation of the resort’s performance on waste management, energy and water consumption, team member welfare, and community relations.
The renewed pledge highlights the eco-initiatives at the forefront of their operations and the objectives set to achieve excellence in sustainability. Currently, they have progressive practices implemented, such as offering glass bottles and water refilling stations for guest use, reef-safe sunscreens, monitoring changes in seawater by deploying new light and temperature loggers around the island.
This year the resort targets include further reducing plastic bottles in minibars by replacing them with glass bottle alternatives, installing automatic door closer in the guest villas, transitioning guest key cards to a wooden biodegradable version, and introducing biodigester for organic waste and turning it into compost, amongst others.
“The Travelife policies guide us in the path of sustainability and securing a certification assures guests that we are aligned with our goals to protect our rich environment and the community, which are our greatest assets,” says Executive Resident Manager Ibrahim Ali.
