Forbes Travel Guide, a global authority on hospitality excellence, recognizes Responsible Hospitality as the official sustainability verification for its network of Star-Rated hotels in 90 countries. This verification process assesses hotels on best practices for environmental protection, employee welfare, guest satisfaction, and community support.

Houdré notes that Responsible Hospitality aims to provide guests a luxurious experience while respecting the environment and human welfare. Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort, has exemplified this by eliminating single-use plastics, reducing paper usage, sourcing local and seasonal menu offerings, and participating in charitable outreach.

Eduardo Sampere, Resort Manager of Naviva, expressed that earning the Responsible Hospitality Verification is a testament to the resort’s commitment to sustainability and its guests. He explained, “At Naviva, responsibility isn’t separate from luxury – it’s woven into the fabric of each experience, from the materials that shelter our guests to the local ingredients that nourish them, creating moments of connection that respect both place and people.”

Responsible Hospitality encompasses various aspects such as food and water waste, sustainable amenities, recycling programs, energy usage, health security, and integration with the local community and culture.
