The Apurva Kempinski Bali in Nusa Dua has become Indonesia’s first Global Sustainable Tourism Council Certified Hotel.
The GSTC certification signifies the resort’s commitment to
sustainable growth to “measure, enhance, and communicate” its commitment
to sustainable practices. A rigorous audit highlighted several key
criteria, including sustainability management, as well as social,
economic and cultural benefits.
The resort employs a science-based approach, encompassing a range of
initiatives such as hydroponic rooftop garden, waste management,
sustainable weddings, and electric vehicle experience.
The resort has also partnered with Eco-Tourism Bali to launch the
mangrove planting programme, beginning with the planting of 1,000 seeds.
Apurva general manager, Vincent Guironnet, said, “We remain dedicated
to creating impactful change while delivering exceptional experiences
to our guests, and shaping a more sustainable future for generations to
come.
“We continually strive to innovate and find new ways to drive sustainability forward in the hospitality industry.”
