Published

on

Radisson Hotel Group, one of the world’s leading hotel groups, has received confirmation and  validation of its near-term Science Based Targets (SBTs) aligned with its commitment to be Net Zero by 2050. 

The authentication has been provided by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) a partnership  between experts such as CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) and the United Nations Global Compact,  which drives ambitious climate action in business. It places Radisson Hotel Group amongst top  companies in the world who align with the COP climate goals and set their carbon reduction targets  according to science. 

Over the past 10 years, Radisson Hotel Group has made great strides and made excellent energy  efficiency gains of 30%. These reductions will continue to increase as we look to certify more hotels  with green building certificates. In 2021, the Group reduced its carbon emissions by 22% per square  meter compared to 2019 and reduced its water footprint by 23% per square meter versus 2019. 

Radisson Hotel Group has defined its own Build Planet guidelines. ‘Build Planet’ hotels are  renovated or built based on a series of sustainable conditions from the preliminary assessment  phase through to the operational phase and these conditions include the use of sustainable  materials and an efficient use of resources. The Group’s Build Planet guidelines provide an  additional framework and modelling tools for forward thinking asset owners who are looking to join  the path to net-zero. 

Earlier this year, Radisson Hotel Group announced its support to essential initiatives that accelerate  Responsible Tourism worldwide: the implementation of the cross-industry Pathway to Net Positive  Hospitality and Hotel Sustainability Basics initiative. Building on its long heritage as a leading  sustainable hotel group, the Group has also reaffirmed its commitment to People, Community, and  Planet as an award-winning employer. 

By activating one of the company’s pillars of Responsible Business, Think Planet, Groups’ Resort  in the Maldives – Radisson Blu is gearing towards saving the environment through its various  initiatives. Resort’ team actively protecting the environment by using its own Water Bottling Plant  on the island; linen and towel reuse programs which are offered to all guests, in the effort to reduce  water and energy usage. Preserving the environment by minimizing the single-use plastic in the  resort as it is in our interest to support the preservation of natural resources of the destination. 

Federico J. González, CEO, Radisson Hotel Group, commented: “Radisson Hotel Group has a  strong, long-standing history of pioneering sustainability initiatives in the hospitality industry. Our  Responsible Business pillars of Think People, Think Community, and Think Planet play an important  part not only in our transformation plan, but also of what we see as our duty as hoteliers to establish  a better tomorrow. We are taking clear action and affirming our commitment to be net-zero by 2050,  not for our commercial gain but to create concrete change and encourage others to join us on the  journey to net-zero, and eventually net positive.”

The Maldives has long been synonymous with romance, and now it takes centre stage in Condé Nast Traveller’s curated list of the ‘Most Romantic Places in the World’. The magazine highlights the archipelago’s unparalleled ability to create dreamlike escapes for couples, setting a gold standard for intimate getaways.

From the moment you set foot in the Maldives, the enchantment begins. Confetti-like tropical fish flit through crystal-clear lagoons, while overwater villas offer vistas of mantas gliding gracefully beneath. Add in the luxury of floating breakfasts served in your private pool and intimate dinners on pristine beaches, and you have the perfect recipe for romance.

Condé Nast Traveller notes that while the Maldives caters to families too, its essence of romance is unrivalled. The country’s private island resorts, nestled amid lush jungles and encircled by house reefs, redefine luxury. With world-class spas, fine dining, and starlit experiences, the Maldives effortlessly marries natural beauty with bespoke hospitality.

The Maldives is home to some of the world’s most celebrated resorts, and Condé Nast highlights a few that stand out:

  • Vakkaru Maldives: A lush retreat where couples can enjoy a private dinner and movie at the island’s jungle cinema under the stars.
  • Six Senses Laamu: The brand’s latest addition to the Maldives offers an exceptional spa experience, complete with a couples’ suite for ultimate relaxation.
  • Gili Lankanfushi Maldives: This eco-luxury resort epitomises romantic aesthetics with its overwater villas set against one of the country’s most mesmerszing lagoons.

For hoteliers and hospitality professionals in the Maldives, this recognition underscores the archipelago’s enduring allure as a romantic haven. It’s a reminder of the importance of maintaining world-class service, crafting unique guest experiences, and preserving the pristine beauty that defines the Maldives.

The Condé Nast Traveller mention is more than just an accolade; it’s an opportunity for local hoteliers to further cement the Maldives’ position as the ultimate destination for couples seeking an off-grid escape steeped in romance.

As the Maldives continues to set benchmarks in hospitality, there’s no doubt that its reputation as a lovers’ paradise will only grow stronger.
