SENTIDO shows its commitment to the environment

-    New environmental guidelines in SENTIDO Hotels & Resorts
-    Travelife certification already achieved for two hotels in Turkey


Oberursel, July 2011 – SENTIDO Hotels & Resorts are getting greener. A sustainability programme has now been launched for the hotels in the chain. The programme focuses on “integrating an environmentally friendly approach in everything we do,” says SENTIDO Managing Director, Stefanie Berk, and the benchmark is the Travelife Award. Travelife is an independent certification system which evaluates accommodation and other service providers against ecological and social criteria. Depending on the outcome of the assessments, hotels receive a gold, silver or bronze award which is valid for two years. Some 100 criteria are assessed including fair staff remuneration, reduced water and energy consumption, waste reduction and a preference for purchasing goods from local suppliers. Two hotels have already been awarded Travelife certification: the SENTIDO Sultan Beldibi and the SENTIDO Perissia in Turkey.


SENTIDO Hotels & Resorts can be booked on the internet portal www.sentidohotels.com or through tour operators such as Thomas Cook and Neckermann Reisen.
