Serendib leisure properties bestowed with ‘Travelife Gold Award’
View(s):All four Serendib Leisure Hotels, namely, AVANI Bentota Resort and Spa, AVANI Kalutara Resort, Club Hotel Dolphin and Hotel Sigiriya, have received the prestigious Travelife Gold Award for sustainable tourism recently.
Travelife is an international certification scheme for hotels and accommodations that helps properties improve how they manage environmental and social impacts, such as energy or water consumption, to engagement with local community.
Travelife grants certifications only after third-party audits involving a visit from an independent auditor are conducted, who assesses the property against the robust requirements of the Travelife sustainability criteria. As the Gold award denotes, Club Hotel Dolphin, AVANI Kalutara Resort, AVANI Bentota Resort & Spa and Hotel Sigiriya have successfully met all of Travelife’s Sustainability System Criteria, thereby ushering them into the exclusive Travelife Collection club.
Ranil de Silva, Managing Director of Serendib Leisure Management Ltd, commented, “We are delighted to have all four of our properties bestowed with the Gold award by Travelife. Sustainability lies at the heart of our business and we are constantly exploring newer ways to minimize any negative environmental and social impacts of our operations. Our ongoing commitment to sustainable and ethical tourism is underscored by the Travelife Gold award.
The Travelife Gold award signifies that our properties display a strong commitment to sustainability and that we are constantly looking for new opportunities for enhancing our sustainability agenda” he added.
