Travel can be relaxing and inspiring—but it also impacts the planet. That’s why DERTOUR Hotels & Resorts launched Green Buddies, a creative initiative that turns small choices into big changes. It’s about making sustainability visible, meaningful, and easy for guests and hotel partners alike.
This initiative is a core part of DERTOUR Hotels & Resorts’ sustainability vision, reducing environmental impact while supporting social projects. It makes sustainability visible and meaningful for guests and partners.
Several hotels have already introduced the project: Sentido Galo Resort, Sentido Bellevue Park, Sentido Marea, Sentido Phenicia, Playitas, Calimera Ralitsa Superior, Calimera Blend Paradise. More hotels will join soon.
What makes Green Buddies special?
Guests are encouraged to skip daily room cleaning. This simple decision saves water and cleaning chemicals and reduces the workload for housekeeping teams. A small step with a big impact.
Each Green Buddy is unique. They are handmade from recycled fabrics and buttons and symbolize the idea that sustainability starts with small steps and personal choices. By placing a Green Buddy in the room, guests signal their decision to support the environment and social responsibility. Behind these creations are social organizations that empower women, support people with disabilities, and strengthen local communities.
This initiative turns sustainability into something tangible—combining environmental care with human connection and creating a positive impact that goes far beyond the hotel stay.
Why it matters
Green Buddies is a movement to make travel kinder to the planet and fairer for people. This approach proves that sustainability doesn’t have to be complicated. It starts with small, visible actions that guests and hotels can take together. By choosing Green Buddies, DERTOUR Hotels & Resorts is showing that responsible travel is possible—and that every stay can leave a positive mark on the world.
