At Camel Dive Club & Boutique Hotel, our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to be a certified member of Egypt’s Green Star Hotel Program, a prestigious certification that recognizes eco-friendly hotels dedicated to supporting sustainable tourism.
Sustainable Tourism goes beyond our diving facilities. We strive to provide our resort guests with the full Green Star Treatment!
What is the Green Star Hotel Program?
The Green Star Hotel (GSH) Program is Egypt’s national environmental certification designed to help hotels reduce their environmental impact while promoting sustainable travel. This initiative was launched to encourage businesses in the hospitality sector to adopt eco-friendly practices, ensuring the protection of natural resources for future generations.
Hotels that participate in the Green Star Hotel Program must meet rigorous standards in areas like energy efficiency, waste management, and water conservation. By following these guidelines, certified hotels contribute to reducing their carbon footprint, minimizing plastic waste, and creating a more sustainable tourism experience.
Our Journey to Green Star Certification
In 2022, Camel Dive Club & Boutique Hotel proudly became a Green Star certified hotel. This milestone reflects our ongoing efforts to ensure that our daily operations, from our hotel services to our diving center, align with sustainable practices.
To achieve this certification, we reviewed and improved key aspects of our environmental impact, including:
- Energy-efficient lighting and appliances throughout the hotel to minimize energy consumption.
- Water conservation measures such as using low-flow fixtures and treating water responsibly.
- Waste reduction policies, with a strong focus on recycling and proper waste management.
- Eliminating single-use plastics, replacing them with sustainable alternatives, which we started in 2018.
Why Sustainable Tourism Matters
Sustainable tourism is about making sure that the impact of travel on the environment, local communities, and cultural heritage is minimized. By choosing to stay at a Green Star Hotel, guests can enjoy their vacations knowing they are contributing to the preservation of natural ecosystems and the protection of marine life in the Red Sea.
Our Gold Rated Green Fins-certified diving center also complements this approach, ensuring that all our diving operations promote marine conservation and environmental awareness.
