Six Senses Honored at Responsible Tourism Awards
The Maldives Underwater Initiative (MUI) at Six Senses Laamu received ‘Best for Wildlife and Nature Conservation’ Award for its #ProtectMaldivesSeagrass campaign at the World Travel Market’s Responsible Tourism Awards.
In 2017, the resort recognized the ecological importance of seagrass habitats as part of its sustainability commitment and “Responsible & Caring” value. It pledged to play a more active role in conserving the seagrass meadows in the Laamu Atoll through its Maldives Underwater Initiative.
After 2 years, the #ProtectMaldivesSeagrass campaign united one quarter of all resorts across the country to join the cause and pledge protection of over seven million square feet (655,000 square meters) of seagrass, the equivalent of 90 football fields.
