THE FLAMBOYANT HOTEL – GREEN GLOBE BENCHMARKED

St. George’s, Grenada Friday 11 June 2004 – The Flamboyant Hotel has achieved the prestigious GREEN GLOBE 21 Benchmarked Certificate under the new GREEN GLOBE 21 Certification program, which recognises the operation’s commitment to operating at the world’s highest environmental standard.  The Flamboyant Hotel was assisted under the Caribbean Hotels Environmental Management Initiative, a program sponsored by PA Government Services through USAID funding.

The Flamboyant Hotel has spent considerable time benchmarking its energy and water consumption, waste production and disposal as well as implementing an integrated environmental and social policy.  In particular it has achieved Best Practice in Energy Consumption, Portable Water Consumption, Social Commitment and Resource Conservation performance areas.  These measures will deliver ongoing reduction of non-renewable resources, extensive cost savings and secure a sustainable commercial and ecological future for the business.

GREEN BLOBE 21 is the global Benchmarking, Certification and improvement system assisting the international travel and tourism industry to attain sustainability.  GREEN GLOBE 21 provides a certification system that responds directly to the major environmental problems facing the planet, including the greenhouse effect, over-use of freshwater resources, destruction of biodiversity production of solid and biological waste and social issues.

Cathy Parsons, Globe Manager of GREEN GLOBE 21, says, “I am delighted that The Flamboyant Hotel has achieved Benchmarked status.  The Flamboyant Hotel is an inspiration to all those people committed to environmentally sustainable tourism.  They have demonstrated through a variety of initiatives, that the business and its employees can make a difference to reducing their environmental impact.  The commitment they have shown in signing up to participate in the GREEN GLOBE 21 program and their achievements set an example for other businesses to follow.”
