Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort and its sister company, MVC Eagle Beach Aruba have recently been honored by EarthCheck, the world’s leading business advisory group specializing in sustainability and destination management for the travel and tourism industry, receiving a Master Certification status at Amsterdam Manor and Platinum Certification status at MVC Eagle Beach.
By working with EarthCheck, Amsterdam Manor and MVC Eagle Beach have joined other industry leaders who are taking meaningful steps towards resolving some of the very real issues that face the planet. Stewart Moore, CEO and Founder of EarthCheck, said that both properties have taken significant leadership position in sustainability. Mr. Moore said, “I would like to congratulate the whole team on their achievement. Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort and MVC Eagle Beach are valued members of a global group of tourism operators who dare to make a difference.”
