Single-Use Plastic (SUP)

This audit addresses Single Use Plastics (SUP) potentially used in products and packaging in hotels and in the supply chain of hotels.

This audit was done as a self-assessment and not (yet) verified.

Reducing single-use plastics is essential for hotels due to its considerable environmental impact. Plastics contribute to pollution, harm wildlife and threaten human health. Reducing plastic use also helps conserve non-renewable resources and combat climate change. Beyond environmental stewardship, reducing plastics aligns with many hotels' sustainability commitments, aids in complying with emerging regulations, and can result in significant cost savings by investing in reusable items. Furthermore, an increasing number of environmentally conscious travelers prefer staying at that share their values, potentially attracting more patrons.  To qualify for verification, the hotel must achieve an overall score of 80%.

SUP Audit (Phuket Pilot)

This audit addresses Single Use Plastics (SUP) potentially used in products and packaging in hotels and in the supply chain of hotels.

This audit was done as a self-assessment and not (yet) verified.

Plastic bags start out as fossil fuels and end up as deadly waste in landfills and the ocean. Birds often mistake shredded plastic bags for food, filling their stomachs with toxic debris. For hungry sea turtles, it's nearly impossible to distinguish between jellyfish and floating plastic shopping bags. Fish eat thousands of tons of plastic a year, transferring it up the food chain to bigger fish and marine mammals. Microplastics are also consumed by people through food and in the air. In order to qualify for verification, the hotel must achieve an overall score of 80% and comply with all mandatory questions.

The audit is based on a detailed comparison of the GSTC Criteria for Hotels and Accommodations, the WTTC Hotel Sustainability Basics, Travalyst's 32 accommodation attributes for sustainable tourism (used by Booking.com, Expedia and Google), the UNESCO Sustainable Travel Pledge, the Department for Environmental Quality Promotion (DEQP), the Thai Green Hotel Standard and the Travelife for Hotels standard.

We donated to our local community

We are a hotel that believes in giving back to our community. We've donated to local schools, charities, and events, and have even organized volunteer days for our staff to get involved. We source our produce from local farmers and use local businesses for our supplies. It's important for us to support the community that supports us. We've built strong relationships with our neighbors, and our guests appreciate our commitment to making a positive impact. It's a win-win situation, and we're proud to be a part of it.

We planted new mangroves around our beach

We've planted mangroves along the coast to increase our tsunami protection. The mangroves not only help to prevent erosion, but also provide a habitat for marine life. We've also educated our guests about the importance of protecting our environment and reducing their carbon footprint. It's important for us to take action to protect our community and the planet. We're proud to be part of the solution, and we hope to inspire others to do the same.
