Sustainability

Environment & Sustainability

Seaview Hotel Adults Only 16+ recognises that it has a responsibility to the environment beyond legal and regulatory requirements. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods. We will encourage customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to do the same.

GSTC

The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) sets and manages the global standards for sustainable travel and tourism, known as the GSTC Criteria. These standards focus on protecting the environment, preserving cultural heritage, and supporting local communities. GSTC also provides accreditation to certification bodies that verify businesses committed to sustainability.

As part of our commitment to responsible tourism, we are currently in the process of applying for and working towards achieving the GSTC certification. This is an important step for us in promoting environmentally friendly practices and offering more sustainable experiences to our guests.
