TWO of Escape2 Holiday Parks' newly acquired properties have won awards
for their environmental work.
Murramarang Beachfront and Myall Shores nature resorts in NSW have
received Bronze Gumnut gongs after fulfilling the criteria in each of the
ten categories.
The resorts became part of the Escape2 group late last year after being in
receivership for more than 18 months.
Managing director Steve Billett said the company was focusing heavily on
environmental initiatives.
"Earlier this year the resorts were ECO-Certified in nature tourism, which
essentially means they operate in a natural area and leave minimal impact
on the environment," he explained.
"To complement this with a Bronze Gumnut Award is very exciting."
Mr Billett said the company felt a strong responsibility to nature and was
continuing to implement environmental initiatives at the resorts, even
down to using environmentally-friendly soap and totally biodegradable
shampoo, including the packaging.
The resorts now hope to work towards the next levels of certification.
