Mövenpick Hotel Gammarth Tunis: Grounded in Generosity and Green Values in Tunisia
Mövenpick Hotel Gammarth Tunis has once again been awarded Green Globe Certification, reaffirming its status as a sustainability leader in Tunisia. The hotel has maintained this prestigious recognition annually since 2016, becoming the first Accor property in Tunisia to achieve Green Globe’s esteemed Gold status. This achievement validates the hotel's commitment to continuous improvement across Green Globe’s criteria, encompassing environmental protection, socio-economic development, and the preservation of cultural heritage.
Reflecting on this latest recertification, Imen Touhemi Project Manager, stated, “Thanks to the commitment and continuous engagement of the entire hotel team throughout this process, we have successfully achieved our sustainability goals.'"
As part of its dedication to community and social responsibility, Mövenpick Hotel Gammarth Tunis proudly supports DARNA, meaning "Our Home" in Arabic—a humanitarian initiative established in 2014 to provide abandoned children with secure and nurturing environments. Each child is cared for by a surrogate mother until the age of 15, ensuring they receive emotional and developmental support throughout childhood.
“In collaboration with DARNA, our hotel is proud to support the mission of providing a safe and loving home for abandoned children. This partnership reflects our commitment to fostering a nurturing environment, both for our employees and for those in need. The children of our employees represent the strong sense of community and care that we strive to cultivate, both within our workplace and through our social initiatives,” said Imen Touhemi.
Further exemplifying its social engagement, the hotel participated in the “Kilo of Kindness” campaign to engage the children of its employees in meaningful, educational experiences. Through this initiative, the hotel organizes free leisure and environmental activities that foster awareness of sustainable practices among young participants.
In March 2024, Mövenpick Hotel Gammarth Tunis joined forces with the charity organization Lions Club Sidi Mehrez to support homeless individuals. Through this collaborative effort, the hotel provides food and assistance to those in need, reinforcing its dedication to humanitarian efforts and reinforcing its role as a responsible corporate citizen.
In line with its environmental philosophy, the hotel also cultivates a vibrant botanical garden on its premises. The garden, shaded and maintained using sustainable, eco-friendly methods, produces fresh vegetables like lettuce for use in the hotel’s culinary offerings and promotes biodiversity in the local environment. The garden supplies healthy food while also demonstrating the hotel's ongoing commitment to sustainable living and organic cultivation.
With its comprehensive and heartfelt approach to sustainability, Mövenpick Hotel Gammarth Tunis continues to lead by example, offering a model of excellence in responsible tourism and community empowerment.
