Additionally, our resorts in Playacar- Riviera Maya, Mexico, Viva Maya & Azteca by Wyndham have recently obtained Blue Flag Certification for the July 2024- June 2025 season. We have been working hard on achieving this recognition since June 2023, focusing on environmental education, water quality, environmental management as well as safety and services that include ensuring that the lifeguard tower is adequately equipped, accessibility for all and availability of first aid services.
“The iconic Blue Flag is one of the world’s most recognised voluntary awards for beaches, marinas, and sustainable tourism boats. In order to qualify for the Blue Flag, a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility criteria must be met and maintained.” Source: Blue Flag ref: blueflag.global.
The alliance with ProTortuga is a perfect example of how tourism can positively integrate with nature conservation while ensuring that the beaches of Miches and Lavacama remain in optimal conditions for the reproduction of sea turtles. This not only contributes to local biodiversity but also enriches the experience of visitors, who can enjoy nature in its purest state.
These kinds of actions have the potential to engage and benefit the local community, raising awareness about the importance of conservation and offering opportunities for active participation in protection and environmental education activities.
At Viva Resorts by Wyndham, we know that the best guest experiences begin with teams that are cared for, safe, and healthy. That is why occupational health and safety are part of the culture we promote every day across each of our hotels.
Following the commemoration of World Day for Safety and Health at Work, we are proud to share that Viva Maya by Wyndham and Viva Azteca by Wyndham were recognized with the “ELSSA” distinction Safe and Healthy Work Environments granted by the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS).
For Viva Resorts, this achievement reflects the daily commitment behind every team, every training session, and every action focused on caring for our people. We firmly believe that excellence in hospitality begins from within.
