Ocean Club Resorts, two all-suite resorts situated along Grace Bay Beach, have unveiled a new carbon footprint calculator as part of the redesigned website. Created in partnership with Wayaj, an organization that provides solutions to reduce environmental impact within the hospitality industry, the new module allows guests to calculate and offset their eco-influence ahead of their visit.
“Our team has long stood committed to exploring eco-friendly practices that are both innovative and add value to the overall guest experience,” said Wilbert Mason, managing director of Ocean Club Resorts. “The new partnership with Wayaj to deploy a carbon footprint calculator was a natural next step in offering positive-impact travel. Guests will now have the opportunity to easily support sustainability initiatives for the betterment of the global community.”
The Carbon Footprint Calculating Engine works as a sustainable-actions module that lives on the resorts’ new website. Travelers to Ocean Club Resorts will have the opportunity to accurately calculate the carbon generated from their trip and offset that via verified projects. These actionable offsets include beach clean-ups, coral reef and marine life protection, and education on eco-friendly practices.
Guests add in the party size, length of visit, and choose to calculate hotel stay alone or to include transportation. From there, a selection of current projects will appear for them to choose from should they decide to offset a portion of their stay. Next steps for Ocean Club Resorts include implementing similar projects within the destination for guests to volunteer their time or provide a monetary donation as an actionable offset.
Having been the first resorts within Turks & Caicos to achieve Green Globe Certification, this latest initiative further demonstrates the properties’ commitment to sustainability. Ocean Club Resorts’ established applications include purchasing eco-friendly products and implementing best practices across both locations in energy and waste reduction. A recently redesigned website helps guests to navigate all that Ocean Club Resorts have to offer, including from a sustainability and community impact standpoint.
