Give back to the future

Tourism is one of the driving forces of global economic growth. By promoting fair work in the tourism industry, various groups are benefiting from this economic growth. We focus our policy on promoting sustainable tourism that creates jobs and supports and preserves local culture and production. That is how we introduced the Corendon Academy. A training and education program, at home and abroad, for young adults from the age of 18 who get work opportunities within our hotels, trained by our own people.

We are conscious of the things we buy and use. This concerns sustainable products and goods that we purchase for the hotels worldwide.

We pay close attention to our energy and water consumption, waste / waste management and ensure that this is done as efficiently as possible. Corendon Village and Corendon City Hotel have the Green Key gold certification.

We take measures to make conservation and sustainable use of oceans and seas at our destinations. For example, we look at more sustainable fishing and we try to protect coral reefs by making certain beaches inaccessible to tourists.

Restore ecosystems and preserve biodiversity. The emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases contributes to the greenhouse effect. This leads to climate change. To give back to the earth, we have been planting trees in Turkey since 2010, to prevent soil erosion, and to compensate for CO2 emissions, for example. We have planted 415,000 trees so far. In addition, we participate in the repair and cleaning up of mangroves in Curaçao. The soil was cleaned up in consultation with nature conservation organizations on the island, and manually removed from the street. Mangrove are large ecosystems that are very important for biodiversity, coastal protection, carbon capture, water treatment and tourism. The mangrove Habitats are under threat worldwide.
