Within the scope of " Youth for a Sustainable Future in tourism" project, we visited Tui Magic Life Jacaranda Hotel under the leadership of the project managers! We were greatly impressed by the hotel's eco-friendly practices.
We embarked on an exhilarating journey with an educational visit to the acclaimed TUI Magic Life Jacaranda Hotel nestled in the heart of Antalya's Manavgat district. Renowned for its unwavering commitment to sustainability, this hotel seamlessly integrates eco-conscious practices to educate and engage both guests and staff alike. From compost machines yielding fertilizer or animal feed to QR codes on trees promoting blue cap recycling awareness, every aspect is meticulously crafted to instill a love for sustainability in an enjoyable and captivating manner.
This visit with students from Manavgat Tourism Faculty, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities and Vocational School was a rich source of learning and inspiration. Throughout the hotel tour, students were given a comprehensive insight into the intricacies of sustainability practices, culminating in a detailed presentation held in the meeting room. This presentation served as an informative guide for the leaders of tomorrow, illuminating pathways for embracing and implementing sustainability principles in their future careers.
Beyond its educational value, our visit bore profound social and psychological implications. Departing students were infused with motivation, a sense of purpose, and a profound inspiration to effect positive change in the world. The community spirit and shared sense of responsibility cultivated during this visit are poised to resonate with them for years to come.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to TUI Magic Life Jacaranda Hotel for exemplifying how sustainability can be seamlessly woven into the fabric of the hospitality sector. Through their exemplary practices, they have illuminated a path toward a more sustainable future for the industry.
