Several Barcelo Hotel Group Properties Honored With Green Globe Certification

The prestigious Green Globe certification has provided countless businesses with certification that assures the highest standard for sustainability worldwide for over two decades

 

MIAMI (April 17, 2019) – Barceló Hotel Group is proud to announce that Allegro Cozumel, Occidental Cozumel, Occidental Nuevo Vallarta and Barceló Puerto Vallarta have attained the Green Globe certification for the first time in 2019, which promotes the implementation of sustainability standards in the operation and management of resort destinations and communities.

“The Green Globe certification represents the highest standard for sustainability worldwide and we’re very excited that more Barceló properties have been distinguished this year,” said Juan Perez, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Barceló Hotel Group Latin America. “This important achievement is made possible by the diligent work from the teams at each resort who have made eco-friendliness a top priority year after year.”
