Marriott hotels achieve Gold certification from GGC
Three Marriott group hotels were recently awarded Gold certifications, from the internationally-renowned Green Globe certification (GGC) programme, for their commitment to eco-friendly operational practices. The Delta Hotel by Marriott Jumeriah Beach and the Four Points by Sheraton properties in Bur Dubai and on Sheikh Zayed Road, achieved Gold status after rigorous and extensive, independent audits, carried out by Green Globe’s preferred partner in the Middle East, Dubai-headquartered sustainability consultancy Farnek. “During the audit process and assessment, all three hotels complied with and in some cases even surpassed more than 380 rigorous sustainability indicators, achieving ratings of 93% and above. “This clearly underscores their commitment to the environment and of course to the UAE’s net zero 2050 strategy,” said Muna Al Nahdi, Head of Sustainability & Consultancy, Farnek. The Four Points by Sheraton, Sheikh Zayed Road and Bur Dubai, which have both been certified by Green Globe over the past five years, achieved their first Gold rating this year, through a raft of eco-friendly projects. These included food recycling and waste management initiatives, automated air conditioning cleaning systems and retrofitting solar water heaters, amongst other sustainability initiatives. The Delta Hotel by Marriott, Jumeirah Beach, also received a Gold rating, through innovative programmes such as supplying staff with reusable laundry bags made from old guest linen. The hotel has also installed lighting motion sensors in all back-of-house areas and has carried out retrofits on fresh air handling units to achieve improved energy performance and a reduction in carbon emissions. “Achieving Green Globe‘s Gold certification clearly illustrates our determination to reduce our impact on the environment. Each and every member of staff has contributed to this award and it is gratifying to have our efforts formally recognised by an independent auditor. “This will undoubtedly assure our guests that we are unequivocally supporting responsible tourism,” said Karolina Paliszewska, Cluster Property General Manager, Delta Hotels by Marriott, Having signed its original partnership agreement with Green Globe in 2009, Farnek has certified well over 100 hotels and leisure facilities in 38 cities across the MENA region. This has enabled members to save in excess of 180 million kWh of energy, worth over $20 million, and more than two million cubic metres of water, valued at approximately $5 million.

India’s hotels on recovery track
Amid continued recovery from the Omicron wave, India’s hotel industry eclipsed pre-pandemic comparables in occupancy and average daily rate (ADR) for three consecutive days during the second week of April, according to preliminary data from STR. The three days (16 to 18 April) were the first of 2022, with both occupancy and ADR above 2019 levels in India. When using a running 7-day average, occupancy and ADR have been above 90% of pre-pandemic comparables since late March. India recorded its highest ADR index at 106% of 2019 comparable. Occupancy surpassed pre-pandemic levels earlier, reaching as high as 109% of the corresponding 2019 level on 25 March. “With the Omicron wave behind us, traveller confidence has grown significantly, and leisure destinations have continued their momentum from the prior months,” said STR’s regional director – Pacific, Japan & Central South Asia Matthew Burke. “Select leisure markets such as Himachal Pradesh, Goa, and Uttarakhand have seen significant occupancy levels throughout 2022, most times exceeding pre-pandemic levels. He noted that “business demand, which was limited after the Delta wave, has shown significant improvement post-Omicron with momentum continuing through April. While there have been early signs of increased COVID cases across some Indian markets, the country’s hotels have shown resilience thus far. Recovery from each wave has been better than the previous, and we expect that trend to continue.”
