Another Step Forward in Our Commitment to Reducing Food Waste

Every year, millions of tonnes of food are wasted across the hospitality sector. This represents a significant environmental, social, and economic challenge, encouraging us to rethink how we manage and use our resources. At the Tigaiga, we believe that sustainability is built through concrete actions. For this reason, we have officially joined the Voluntary Code of Conduct for the Prevention of Food Waste, promoted by the BENDITA COMIDA initiative.

Developed within the hotel industry itself, this initiative helps establishments reduce food waste through practical tools, collaboration, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

By joining this initiative, we strengthen our commitment to:

Integrating food waste prevention into our daily operations.

Continuously measuring, analysing, and optimising our processes.

Training and raising awareness among our teams.

Strengthening collaboration with suppliers, guests, and social organisations.

Reducing food waste is not only an environmental and social responsibility. It is also an opportunity to improve efficiency, create value for our destination, and contribute to a more sustainable tourism model.

We will continue working to ensure that every action, no matter how small, helps build a better future for people, the environment, and future generations.

Tigaiga Joins “El Primer Viaje” to Protect Marine Life in the Canary Islands

it — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 15:49:56 +0000

Every year, we have the opportunity to demonstrate that tourism and biodiversity can coexist in perfect harmony. In the Canary Islands, home to the Cory’s Shearwater, the most abundant species of marine bird in these waters, an astonishing natural phenomenon takes place. During the months of October and November, young Cory’s Shearwater fledglings, on their maiden flight from the nest to the sea, are drawn to the lights of coastal developments. Unable to ascend on their own, these vulnerable birds are at risk of collisions and predation.

This year, from October 28 to November 10, 2023, coinciding with the new moon, the days of greatest risk are anticipated. For this reason, our contribution is essential to preserve this endangered species.

We are delighted to announce that Hotel Tigaiga has once again joined the “El Primer Viaje” initiative. Our participation in this noble cause focuses on two fundamental objectives:

Measures at our facilities to protect the birds: Reduction of outdoor lighting and activation of rescue protocols.

Information and awareness campaigns: Targeted at our employees and guests to educate them about the challenges facing this species.

We invite you to join our mission to preserve the unique biodiversity of the Canary Islands. Learn more about our collaboration with “El Primer Viaje” and how you can contribute by visiting https://elprimerviaje.org/

Travelife GOLD 2012

We have just received our award plaque from Travelife GOLD for Sustainability in Tourism

PS Achieving a Travelife Award isn’t easy and requires a good result from the Travelife Audit. Audits involve a visit from an independent auditor, who will look at the range of a hotel’s management practices from the way it employs its staff, to how it manages its waste or energy consumption, interviewing the staff and inspecting the property against the requirements of the 99 Travelife criteria. If they meet these requirements, then they will achieve an award.
