Green Key awarded Hotel Kallichoron Art Boutique Hotel (Greece) has received the Gold and Platinum Green Awards in the category Services for its overall sustainability strategy and programme “Kallichoron Goes Green”, aiming to reduce carbon footprint and encourage travellers to embrace sustainable practices during their holidays.
Kallichoron’s great achievements during the pandemic
Green Key is thrilled to highlight the results at Kallichoron. Reaching these achievements under the current conditions the world is living in is very special. However, there has been a positive interest in sustainability within the hospitality industry. In this particular moment, Green Awards have rewarded the businesses which have shown agility, adaptability and have perceived the business disruption caused by the pandemic as an opportunity to revise their business model and bring sustainability to their core strategy. This is precisely what our Green Key awarded Kallichoron Art Boutique Hotel has been able to do.
Some reflections from the Co-founders
Besides making us proud, Kallichoron Co-founders have shown their appreciation and desire to keep striving for more sustainable tourism:
Maria Mavroudi, Co-founder and General Manager: “We are delighted to receive this award, which is special to us, as it reflects our commitment to work towards sustainable tourism, support local community and welfare. Purpose defines the identity of a business and the reason it exists, forming the benchmark for every decision. At Kallichoron, and as we grow as a hotel business, what drives everything we do is our collective and individual commitment to operate in a responsible manner and in line with our values. The trust of our guests, community and our people place at Kallichoron, alongside our high standards to ethical behaviour, is fundamental to our actions and this award encourages us to work harder."
Carolina Alkalai, co-founder and Hotel Manager of Kallichoron continued "This award is yet another incentive to continue offering great, innovative services to our guests, in a sustainable manner and with responsibility. And it is the right thing to do for our planet and future generations. Thank you for your support all these years, and we hope we don’t ever disappoint!”
