Between April and December 2024, our hotels became true living laboratories for sustainability. Through the Biodiversity Contest, led by the Corporate Sustainability Department and the Vice Presidency of Hotel Operations, we promoted concrete actions to protect and regenerate the nature that surrounds us.

Key Achievements of the 2024 Biodiversity Contest

Thanks to the commitment of our hotels and communities, we achieved extraordinary results in the protection and restoration of biodiversity:

49,937 m² reforested

35,195 m² of new green areas utilized

2,255 edible and ornamental species planted

3,717 volunteer hours

1,179 hours of environmental training

2,491 trees planted

With the participation of 21 hotels in 17 transformative projects, this initiative mobilized our teams around five key pillars reflecting our commitment to the planet: Endangered species conservation, habitat care, environmental education, sustainable agriculture, and biodiversity monitoring.

2024 Contest Winners

We proudly celebrate the effort and creativity of the teams that led these exemplary initiatives:

🥇 1st Place: El Huerto (The Orchard), Hotel Galeón (Colombia)

🥈 2nd Place: Howler Monkeys, Mompiche (Ecuador)

🥉 3rd Place: Plant a Tree and Create Awareness, Punta Sal (Peru)

This contest was not an isolated event but a living expression of our goal to positively impact our destinations. From mangroves to urban gardens, we will continue strengthening the ecosystems of the destinations that host us.
