The Mövenpick El Quseir Resort is proud to announce that the resort has received the TUI Environment Champion Award 2009 for the fourth consecutive year. “This Award is a special acknowledgement for our holiday resort and it shows that our many efforts on behalf of the environment have born fruit,” said Klaus Graesslin, General Manager of the Mövenpick Resort El Quseir.
The Mövenpick Resort El Quseir was opened in 1994 in an idyllic location on the Red Sea, 140 kilometers south of Hurghada. In a desire for the resort to harmonize with spectacular scenery of the area, the architect designed a Nubian style village in tones of terracotta and peach. The 250 rooms are housed in clusters of stone-clad bungalows with high domed ceilings, set in gardens that quickly created their own eco-system. As the palms, flowering shrubs and herbaceous plants began to mature they attracted many species of birds, insects and small reptiles in an area that had once only consisted of barren rock and sand.
"Through extensive training courses we have made our staff understand the issues of sustainable tourism and they are willingly embracing the standards we are continuously striving to achieve," added Klaus Graesslin.
The piece de la residence of the resort is Kadeem Bay "Eco Bay", the pristine reef, which is virtually on its doorstep and boasts an abundance of marine life and many species of corals. It is one of the best preserved coral reefs in the Red Sea, and arguably the world, a fact that was confirmed earlier this year by the Cousteau Society.
"The key is to work as a unified team, including the staff, the guests and professionals at our Subex Dive Centre. Only then can we all reap the rewards," Klaus Graesslin said. "Our guests get really exited seeing dolphins swim right up to the shore and seeing our three resident sea eagles, a rarity in Egypt, perched on the coral rock in the early morning and at sunset. This year, for the first we had two special guests, a pair of sea turtles that laid thousands of eggs on our private beach proving how clean it is."
The Mövenpick El Quseir Resort is a real success story and an inspiration to others for the resort also won the TUI Environment Champion Award for the fourth consecutive year.
The award is based on the results of questionnaires asking guests to give their judgment as to the professionalism and creativity of management, the hotel's quality of service and its general atmosphere, among other criteria.
"Receiving the TUI Environment Champion Award once again proves that we have been offering consistent quality since the day we welcomed our first guests," stated Klaus Graesslin. "We are proud of our seaside paradise and that we have many guests who feel the same way and prove it by returning here again and again."
