Grupo Mayan and Other Resort Chains on Environmentally-conscious Commerce

By Weston Reilly


Is vacationing the old way getting a bit tedious for you? Fortunately, you need no longer stick to the usual options. Many people are now opting for a new kind of vacation: one that is not just relaxing for them but also not as harmful to the planet as before.

This style of vacationing is perfect for those who want to get more in touch with the rhythms of the planet again. Now, people are more interested in relaxing and having fun while maintaining Earth and giving back. More and more people are getting interested in this type of tourism.

Mexico is a prime location for tourism at the moment. A good number of Mexican hotels are being seen to accede to the demands of environmentalists these days. More and more hotels following the trend are being seen in the country.

A lot of people interested in this trend are aware of the programme known as EarthCheck. When a hotel has the EarthCheck certificate, it is considered to be a hotel genuinely dedicated to promoting eco-friendly business and travel. Having said this, any hotel resort with EarthCheck approval has the competitive edge.

You can see the way the big boys do it and do it successfully by looking to such chains as Grupo Mayan, from which one can truly learn more about green business. In the past four decades, even before green tourism became popular, the group's hotels have already been noted to promote sustainability in the industry. Only sustainable tourism and commercial practices are used in Grupo Mayan's facilities all over the country.

The company also EarthCheck's accreditation. From becoming affiliated to having in place a system that ensures and constantly measures the establishment's efficacy, there are a lot of things involved here. All the difficulties involved definitely pay off in the long run, however, for the environment, the business and even the locals.

The corporation also holds the titles and deeds to several En Advance resorts. The program aims to unite efforts for preserving Mexican ecology as well as the protection of turtles, in order to save this species from the brink of extinction. The Riviera Maya region is especially dedicated to preserving several turtles that come here regularly.

For instance, at Mayan Palace Resort, turtles lay their eggs on beaches, with more than 80 per night. Many resort clients end up participating in the efforts. This way, the resorts get to show their clientele the significance of eco-friendliness while also giving them great experiences in keeping with their vacation needs.

Each resort features eco-friendly amenities and operational methods. Their bath and shower facilities, even, have been built to encourage clients to be conservative in water usage, while still delivering a luxury feel. Energy conservation is also witnessed in their initiatives directing their workers how to best save on power.

What is great about Grupo Mayan is that even with their eco-friendly mission, they never forget the luxury component. The company goes so far as to try to set markers for itself that it must beat to become more efficient the next year. Among the number of initiatives they have taken to better their eco-friendliness, they are also using more and more solar power.
