Green Globe International, Inc. Announces the First Green Globe Certified Hotel in Oman
August 03 2010 - 8:00AM
Green Globe International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:GGII), the worldwide
owner of the Green Globe brand, today reported that Green Globe
Certification, a branded certification program that is currently
represented in over 83 countries around the world, has announced
the Park Inn Muscat as the first hotel in the country of Oman to be
certified as having met the requirements of the Green Globe
Standard.
The Park Inn Muscat is not only the first Green Globe Certified
hotel in Oman but is also the second hotel in the Middle East
region and first hotel worldwide in the Rezidor Hotel Group to
achieve certification. The Green Globe seal of approval is
recognized as representing the highest quality in sustainable
practices within travel, tourism and related industries around the
world. The paperless certification process took Park Inn Muscat
four months to complete.
The Park Inn Muscat is centrally located in Al Khuwair on Sultan
Qaboos Street. It displays a modern, sophisticated décor with
state-of-the-art facilities. The 175 tastefully furnished
guest rooms, including seven suites in the colorful and vibrant
Park Inn style, have been done keeping the business traveler in
mind.
"The first certification in Oman and the second in the Middle
East is a noteworthy accomplishment for our certification partners,
and we are pleased to report this achievement to our shareholders
and brand stakeholders throughout the world," said Green Globe
International Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Steven
R. Peacock.
In other Green Globe Certification news, the owners of Hamanasi
Resort, utilizing their many years of business experience, have
developed a range of training and development programs for their
staff and related businesses. The newest training program to
be conducted will be with tour guides who service the resorts
guests.
Green Globe Certification CEO Guido Bauer commented, "Hamanasi
Resort has a long reputation of providing quality skills training,
from its own service quality programs through to resort management
training and now additional tour guide training. These are all
substantial investments by Hamanasi delivering professional and
trade skills, while adding to the enjoyment and safety for
guests."
Founded in 2000, Hamanasi is one of the few resorts in Belize
and possibly the Caribbean that offers both prestigious diving
locations and lush jungle for hikes. This boutique resort located
on the beach south of Hopkins is nestled between the Maya Mountains
and the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Hamanasi runs a full-service dive
shop, restaurant, bar and pool. Being a resort with only 21 rooms
spread over 20 acres of land and holding a capacity of 60-65
people, these amenities present a challenge to being eco-friendly.
But Hamanasi has embraced the challenge and succeeded in becoming
Green Globe Certified.
Nestled between the lush Maya Mountains and the turquoise
Caribbean Sea, Hamanasi is a special place from which you can
explore the best of Belize on and offshore. A secluded, intimate
boutique resort located on the beach south of Hopkins, Hamanasi
sits on hundreds of feet of Caribbean Sea beachfront surrounded by
tropical flora on the finest stretch of beach in Belize.
"The Green Globe Certification program continues its expansion
into new markets and industry sectors, and we will continue to
report their milestones as they occur," added Mr. Peacock.
The Green Globe brand and program, which traces its roots back
to the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992, where
182 Heads of State endorsed the Agenda 21 principles of Sustainable
Development, has primarily been used in the travel and tourism
industry but is now being expanded to include a growing number of
environmentally responsible businesses in a variety of market
sectors. The Green Globe brand is an ideal symbol for the world's
increasing awareness of environmental responsibility and response
to global climate change.
