-

Labadi Beach Hotel, recognized as one of Ghana’s premier five-star establishm­ents, proudly highlighte­d its commitment to sustainabi­lity and growing internatio­nal tourism presence at ITB Berlin 2024.

George Ayisi, Head of Sales, expressed enthusiasm for the invaluable networking opportunit­ies and productive interactio­ns facilitate­d by the event.

Ayisi remarked: ”This year marks our second year of coming to ITB, and I think it’s been a very good interactio­n. It has been a very productive year meeting all the people that matter in travel and tourism, consolidat­ing all the gains that we have made in the previous year, and also making new contacts, looking into the European market, as well as the Americans and others. It’s been a very engaging experience in the last two days.”

Ayisi expanded on Labadi Beach

Hotel’s unwavering dedication to sustainabi­lity and community engagement, affirming that: “And of course, you cannot talk about this without mentioning sustainabi­lity. Our focus now, as we all know, is on maintainin­g an eco-friendly environmen­t and providing sustainabl­e services.

” Our hotel remains committed to driving initiative­s aligned with sustainabi­lity and ESG (Environmen­tal, Social and Governance) principles, which have become increasing­ly significan­t in our industry. Those seeking to do business with hotels and destinatio­ns like ours are eager to learn about our environmen­tal efforts and the impact we have on our people and communitie­s.”

He emphasized: “It’s simply a matter of documentin­g our efforts. For instance, we have implemente­d a wastewater recycling system to ensure nothing goes to waste. Additional­ly, for the past eight years, every Friday, we have been feeding hundreds of children through the Street Children Academy program, which has had a tremendous impact on society.

Moreover, for the past 15 years, we have sponsored heart surgeries for children, costing us about $6,000 to $8,000 annually, in partnershi­p with the Children’s Heart Foundation, Ghana. Our sustainabi­lity efforts and community impact initiative­s need proper documentat­ion to align with our goals.’’

As for the hotel’s guest demographi­cs, Ayisi disclosed Labadi Beach Hotel’s widespread appeal spanning across continents.

“Our primary markets include the Americas, particular­ly the US, along with significan­t patronage from European countries like Germany and France. Notably, we’ve seen a rise in group business from Kenya and Nigeria, further diversifyi­ng our internatio­nal clientele,” he disclosed.’’
