Sustainability

The resources of our planet are limited, so we have to conserve them. TUI BLUE takes sustainability seriously. We are committed to the environment, people, and animals in and around our hotels. Find out what sustainability means at TUI BLUE.  

Sustainability at TUI BLUE - and the entire TUI Group - operates with the motto: "Better Holidays, Better World". In terms of sustainability and environmental protection, we focus on five key goals that will make the world a better place:  

Protect the environment. We want to be one of the leading hotels in any given location in terms of environmental awareness. The protection of the environment, landscape, and nature is a given at TUI BLUE. We conserve natural resources wherever possible. We use water and energy efficiently. A few examples:

• Heating water through solar panels on the hotel roof (e.g. TUI BLUE Palm Garden)
• Generating power by biomass power plant (Toscana Resort Castelfalfi)
• Replacing the towels upon guest request instead of changing daily
• Waste separation beyond the state-required minimum
• Largely refraining from using drinking straws and switching to biodegradable straws
• Elimination of disposable tableware
• Our own herb garden at the hotel
• Insect hotels

Be authentic. TUI BLUE stands for an authentic and unique holiday experience, where local experiences, cuisine, and architecture are in the foreground. We prefer to work with local partners who provide us with regional products and services. In this way, we support sustainable consumption, strengthen the region economically, and keep transport routes short. Examples:

• Our own bakeries in the hotels or delivery by local bakers

Signed and sealed. We have our commitment to sustainability reviewed in accordance with the internationally recognised criteria of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, and we're continuously improving. You will find relevant information on the hotels sustainability performance in our TUI Blue App, which you can download free of charge. Some of our environmental awards:

• TUI Environmental Champion
• Travelife
• Green Key
• Green Star
• Blue Flag

Be good hosts and good citizens. TUI BLUE hotels see themselves as an integral part of their local communities and engage in dialogue with them, local authorities, and stakeholders. We actively support projects through the TUI Care Foundation to promote the development of holiday destinations. We also inform our guests about topics related to the environment, society, and sustainability. Examples:

• Support of local animal shelters (e.g. TUI BLUE Marmaris)
• Environmental tours of the hotel area
• Clean-up events with guests and local people, e.g. beach clean-ups
• Cooperation with local schools for environmental education (e.g. TUI BLUE Palm Garden)

Our employees. Our colleagues form the basis of our commitment and the "heart" of TUI BLUE. We work with people of different backgrounds, whom we train through regular training and further education. In doing so, we not only live up to our promise of quality for guests, but we also ensure qualified local jobs, which in turn sustainably strengthen the local economy.
