The Centara Grand Mirage Resort Pattaya celebrated winning bronze status for 2012 by EarthCheck, the international environmental and certification body for the travel and tourism industry, with a staff party at the Wong Amat hotel.

General Manager Andre Brulhart touted presentation of the award, which the hotel won in April, at a Sept. 6 “awards of pride” event that also celebrated the hotel’s successes at the Pattaya Food & Hoteliers Expo and the 28th Eastern Seaboard Bartender Contest.

Brulhart praised and thanked employees for working hard to earn the hotel many awards in various competitions, including the EarthCheck certification, which was based on data collected during the 2011 calendar year.

EarthCheck found the hotel has a sustainability policy in place and has nine of the assessed indicators at or above the baseline level. Seven of these indicators - energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, potable water consumption, water savings rating, waste sent to landfill, cleaning products rating, and pesticide products rating - are at or above the best-practice level, which the company said “is an achievement to be highly commended.”

“I am happy and proud that the hotel has received many awards which are considered as the winning trophies for employees for working hard, reaching our goals and impressing customers,” Brulhart said. “Apart from providing services, the hotel has always given importance to the environment and the success is from the ultimate cooperation between managers and employees of the hotel … this is evident from the awards guaranteeing the quality and services of Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort.”

Centara Grand Mirage also has received an outstanding hotel award from TripAdvsior. com, and was named one of 25 best relaxation spots by Smart Travel Asia magazine. In Thailand, it has won recognition from Thailand Tattler magazine and the Department of International Trade Promotion.
