The announcement was made by the President of Green Globe Latin America, Romeo Dominguez, who visited the resort for the announcement. “It is remarkable to see a luxury beach resort apply such high standards for the sound management of its natural resources  − 120 plant species and 90 animal species − and for its training programs that benefit both employees and the community,” said Dominguez, who manages the sustainable tourism network and green business travel with a presence in 50 countries.

Romarico Arroyo Marroquin, vice-president of Development and Financing of Tres Ríos received the Green Globe Certification. “Hacienda Tres Ríos is the best example that sustainability and tourism are compatible and we are convinced that this is the right way to be responsible,” said Arroyo Marroquin after an explanation of the resort’s eco-friendly practices.

Hacienda Tres Ríos Resort has been built 9+ feet (2.8 meters) above sea level on stilts that allow for natural river flow. The resort was creatively designed to reduced electricity consumption from air-conditioning by 38% and from lighting by 70%.  In addition to using 100% biodegradable products and recycling 100% of solid waste, the resort’s custom-designed operating systems reduce water consumption by 40%.

“Not only did we receive recertification, but we did it with an incredible 95% compliance.  I know of no other hotel in the world that has achieved such a high grade so soon after opening,” said Gabriel Santoyo, Chief Environmental Officer of Tres Ríos.  Santoyo directed the practices that have enabled the resort to achieve this international recognition.
