Curaçao, May 17, 2023 – LionsDive Beach Resort is proud to announce that it has received the prestigious Green Key eco-certificate in recognition of its commitment to sustainable practices. The Green Key is an internationally recognized eco-certificate that is presented to tourism facilities that meet a range of environmental, social, and economic criteria.
LionsDive Beach Resort is dedicated to promoting sustainability in every aspect of its operations, from reducing energy and water consumption to minimizing waste and protecting the natural environment. The resort has implemented a range of sustainable practices, including using renewable energy sources, recycling, reducing plastic waste, and supporting local communities. One of the most popular initiatives is providing the guests with a reusable souvenir water bottle to promote drinking tap water and eliminate the use of plastic water bottles.
Working together with renowned sustainable companies such as Pack for a Purpose and GreenKidz enables LionsDive and its guests to help support the local community. LionsDive donates $1 per night booked via the website to GreenKidz who then uses these funds to create educational material about sustainability for school children.
