LOS ANGELES, California – Hilton Hurghada Plaza is a resort hotel with 220 rooms, covering 50,000m2 of beachside and fringed by turquoise waters. The hotel’s General Manager, Mr. Mehdi Othmani is an experienced practitioner when it comes to providing a holistic approach to people and place, as well as delivering quality service.
Located not far from the colorful markets of downtown Hurghada on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, Hilton Hurghada Plaza offers an extraordinary range of vacation experiences. From snorkeling and diving with turtles and dolphins, to exploring the islands of the Red Sea. Or back on land, off-road treks across the Egyptian Desert followed by a sunset dinner among the dunes.
"Sustainability and conservation are embedded into the fabric of Hilton Worldwide and my team at Hilton Hurghada Plaza proves its commitment to essential green methods each and every day,” says Mr. Othmani. “We are proud to be the first Hilton Worldwide hotel in Europe, Middle East and Africa to be awarded Green Globe certification and, as such, be a standard bearer for environmentally friendly business practice within the company.”
Vice President of Operations, Hilton Worldwide Egypt & Levant. Mr. Christian Muhr sees the certification as an important part of the group’s ongoing success, “At Hilton Worldwide; sustainability is one the pillars to the success of our ‘Travel with Purpose’ business approach and we have adapted standards for measuring sustainable practices just like in any other area of our business.
“The Green Globe certification is testament to Hilton Hurghada Plaza’s success of balancing quality service with new sustainable practices and the real life implementation of these standards. It is a paramount vision that all of our Egypt hotels follow the robust internal and external sustainability measures we have in place for our everyday business,” concluded Mr. Muhr.
Green Globe CEO, Mr. Guido Bauer is proud to welcome Hilton Hurghada to the ranks of its Green Globe certified hotels and resorts, “While Egypt’s tourism sector continues to meet ongoing challenges, the Red Sea destination allows travelers the chance to enjoy the bio-diverse beauty of the country’s marine sites, alongside the unique landscapes of its deserts.
“From our past experience working with Hilton, we already understood that the hotel group has in place its own Global Sustainability Policy and uses a bespoke sustainability management tool, ‘Lightstay’ to document, benchmark and monitor their hotels’ usage of utilities and waste management practices. It is therefore not surprising that in its first year of certification, Hilton Hurghada Plaza has already achieved 76% against the Green Globe Standard.
“I enthusiastically congratulate Hilton Hurghada Plaza on their certification. Their compliance rating is among the best of our first-year performers. I particularly note that the average service of employees at this hotel is around 9 years. This is a clear indication that Hilton Hurghada Plaza is committed to its people, as well as forging a prosperous future on Egypt’s unique Red Sea,” added Mr. Bauer.
