Anantaya launches ‘Green’ campaign
View(s):The Anantaya Resort chain of LAUGFS Leisure Ltd said this week that it has embarked on another green initiative as part of its sustainability efforts. Renowned for its ‘Eco Luxury’ concept, Anantaya recently launched a tree planting drive at its Chilaw resort, as part of a broader campaign to strengthen its commitment towards the environment and the community within which it operates. The initial tree planting drive took place along the road leading up to the Chilaw resort premises, adding a fresh touch of greenery to the surroundings. This initiative will be also rolled out at the newly built Anantaya Resort & Spa in Passikudah, which is expected to be launched soon, it said in a media release.
Anantaya will also be one of the first hotels to initiate Eco-Tours in Sri Lanka, deploying eco-friendly vehicles consisting of electric and hybrid vehicles for excursions. Its resort in Chilaw will soon be geared to offer its guests with visits to Anawilundawa Bird Sanctuary and Wilpattu National Park, both located in close proximity to the resort, in state-of-the-art electric SUVs. Its environmentally-friendly vehicle fleet will also be utilized for airport pickups and drops, as well as daily travel needs of its guests.
“Today environment concerns are mounting beyond imagination, with many adverse effects of environmental pollution felt all over the world. Present day travellers are very much concerned about their environmental footprint through various product and service associations,” remarked LAUGFS Leisure CEO, Roshan R. Perera. ”LAUGFS’s commitment to a sustainable future is ingrained in not just our approach to business, but in also how we do business. Anantaya Resort chain has also been following this philosophy from day one. Our ‘Eco Luxury’ concept at Anantaya Chilaw is a good example of this,” he further added.
