Divi Resorts are winning awards for being ecologically sensitive. Divi Resorts appears to be a good steward of the environment, implementing an impressive number of "green" programs at all of its properties across the Caribbean. Divi's property in Barbados, Divi Southwinds, has served as the catalyst and leader for the earth-friendly practices in 2008 after it was certified as a "Green Hotel", the first property in Barbados to receive the designation. Last year, the resort was a semifinalist for the prestigious Ministry of Tourism Green Hotel Award and received the "Honorary Award" from the Travel Foundation's "Switch Off Save Big" challenge. "Our guests are increasingly attuned to the health of the planet and basing their hotel selection on environmental standards," commented E.J. Schanfarber, CEO of Divi Hotels Marketing, Inc. "It is imperative for hotels to recognize their responsibility to the environment, and our efforts evidence Divi's corporate belief in sustainable tourism. Our success at Southwinds has been a key building block for the lessons and initiatives we are applying to the rest of the properties."
