Eco-friendly Kempinski resort recognised by Luxury Travel Guide |17 February 2018

February is widely recognised as being the month of love, and this month Kempinski Seychelles Resort Baie Lazare has received recognition for the love it’s been showing the planet.

It was announced earlier this week that the Baie Lazare hotel was the winner of the Luxury Travel Guide’s Luxury Eco-Friendly Hotel Award for Seychelles.

The Luxury Travel Guide Awards recognise and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the affluent travel and tourism industry.  Their team of experts have scoured the globe and travelled extensively in order to identify the very best hotels, airlines, tour operators and reputable service companies to affluent travellers from around the world.

“The Luxury Travel Guide Awards represent the pinnacle of hospitality achievement, championing the best in their respective fields; therefore, to come out on top is truly an achievement we are proud of,” said the hotel’s general manager Masami Egami.

“We are delighted to receive this tribute alongside all those who have excelled in the industry and will continue to strive to be a living and working example of sustainable best practices,” he said.

All winners of the Luxury Travel Guide Awards are subject to the same rigorous assessment criteria, applied by the publication’s in-house professionals. This ensures only the most deserving firms and individuals walk away with one of these prestigious accolades and gain a place in the awards winners’ guide.

This award is the latest in a string of recognitions for the hotel’s efforts to mainstream sustainable business practices into its day-to-day operations. Last year the hotel was awarded its third consecutive Seychelles Sustainable Tourism Label and achieved Bronze Benchmark status through EarthCheck, the world’s leading environmental management and professional services group for the travel and tourism industry.
