TUI awarded the hotels in Rota for being sustainable

Last 11 September we received an email where, TUI the biggest holiday tour operator on a worldwide level informed us that Hotel Duque de Nájera and Hotel Playa de la Luz, managed by Mr. Juan Sañudo Márquez and belonging to the chain Hoteles Andaluces con Encanto (HACE), had been awarded positons 28 and 73, respectively, in a selection of 100 chosen from more than 7,500 hotels and apartments that currently sell the brand Word of TUI worldwide. The award of the TUI Umwelt Champion 2009, is a special distinction presented by TUI to associate hotels, for sustainability achievements in the tourism industry.

As winners of this prestigious award, our hotels are distinguished with the title TUI Umwelt Champion in the national summer catalogues 2010/11. There is no better guarantee for clients booking their holidays than to know that these hotels are the most environmentally-friendly, which is how visitors to TUO have rated these hotels.

This year, as an innovation for the presentation of candidacy, the creation of an Organic Kitchen Garden in the Hotel Playa de la Luz , which provides the buffet at the Hotel Playa de la Luz and next season also the Buffet of the Hotel Duque de Nájera, with organic produce for creating some of the typical dishes from the region. This garden has been cared for by the children staying at our hotel during the summer season. They water and pick the products which they then personally take to the kitchen to be prepared. We would like to thank the personnel of both Hotels for their involvement with this project, as without their valuable help we would never have been able to carry out this project.
