Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, Aruba, Celebrates 21 Year Commitment to Green Globe Certification

2021 is certainly a remarkable year for Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort in Aruba. This year marks the resort’s 21 years of commitment to Green Globe Certification and also coincides with the COP26 Climate Change Summit taking place in Glasgow.

The resort is very proud to be one of the original members of Green Globe and is celebrating over two decades of sustainable operations and management. The fact that Green Globe was conceived at the famous Rio Earth Summit 1992 and that Ewald Biemans, Owner/CEO of Bucuti & Tara, was hugely inspired by that same conference is a success story for both organizations and recognizes the founding principles of Agenda 21. For Ewald, this has been a “spectator to speaker” story as he gained awareness in 1992, introduced sustainability to his resort, and this year was a speaker and honoree at COP26 and also while there, was invited to be a launch signatory of the Glasgow Declaration for Climate Action in Tourism.
