GHA and Anantara Hotels & Resorts Highlight Sustainable Initiatives through the Green Collection

Sustainability

Promoting eco-tourism. Creating jobs in nature conservation. Utilising natural resources and minimising discharges and emissions. From the very beginning, Anantara has focused our efforts on social, economic, and environmental areas of priority. In our commitment to preserve the world's most beautiful destinations, promote diverse cultures, and nurture our host communities, we operate in a way that is beneficial to the people who live there, and sustainable for generations of residents and travellers still to come.

We are pleased to share that over 120 hotels and resorts from Minor Hotels' brands, including Anantara, are part of the Green Collection. This group of nearly 200 inspiring hotels, resorts, and palaces, chosen by the Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), underscores our commitment to responsible travel and long-term sustainability initiatives.

Some of the iconic hotels in the collection include Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, Anantara Kihavah Maldives VillasAnantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort, and Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam.

Mindful Travel for a Brighter Future

Hotels and resorts in the Green Collection are pioneers of sustainable practices that protect nature and benefit local communities wherever they operate. Each hotel has attained at least one globally recognised certification, including EarthCheck, Green Growth 2050, Green Key, Green Globe, or Green Seal. They take social and environmental matters seriously by acting through a range of tangible initiatives aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Anantara is making a difference and contributing to a future where sustainable practices are the norm. In fact, we were the first major hotel brand to eliminate plastic straws on every property in Asia. We also have a dedicated app to facilitate paperless check-in, checkout, payment, and billing.

Apart from utilising energy-saving technologies, recycled materials, and minimising energy, carbon dioxide, and single-use plastic, we also support our communities through grassroots involvement, as well as matching guest donations to organisations that provide vital services, such as child welfare and wildlife protection. Hand in hand with guests, we contribute to social and environmental projects in each country that we operate.

Supporting Elephant Welfare, Thailand

Our tranquil jungle resort, Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, supports the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF) which works in partnership with local communities around the world to reinforce its commitment toward environmental, social, and cultural conservation. From getting elephants off city streets and providing elephants, mahouts (elephant caregivers), and their families a home to leading the charge in pioneering welfare-based management techniques, the hotel and GTAEF are supporting the wellbeing of Thailand’s captive and wild elephants.

Protecting Coral Reefs, Maldives

In 2015, the Anantara team in the Maldives worked alongside marine biologists from Coral Reef CPR to develop a joint sustainability project known as Holistic Approach to Reef Protection (HARP) with the goal of protecting the corals from the effects of climate change. Our holistic approach encompasses practical environmental protection and marine education which help limit the potential damage to the reefs and ensure they continue to thrive. Since 2011, guests staying at Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort, Anantara Veli Maldives Resort, and Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas have been able to participate in coral reef propagation programmes and contribute to the ongoing conservation effort by adopting coral and planting it at coral nurseries with the guidance of Anantara’s resident marine biologists. A 2019 field study by marine biologist Dr. Andy Bruckner revealed that rehabilitation efforts have encouraged extraordinary growth across all nurseries.

Rewilding the Desert, Abu Dhabi

In Abu Dhabi, we have partnered with the government to facilitate their project to reintroduce the Arabian oryx and sand gazelle to the Empty Quarter. Breeding, raising, and preparing for release takes place on Sir Bani Yas Island where our Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara play their part before being taken and released close to our Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara where we can afford them logistical support and protection.
