Each year, the RCI Green Award program honors three
RCI-affiliated resorts leading the pack in environmentally
sustainable resort operations practices. Third-party
eco-certification expert GreenCircle Certified, LLC selects award
winners based on nominations from RCI affiliates in the North
America region. Winners are chosen based on advances in energy and
water conservation, waste management, community outreach and
environmental management.
"We’re thrilled to announce the winners of the annual RCI Green
Awards and applaud these three resorts for championing
sustainability in our industry,” said Richard Ruff, senior vice
president and managing director of RCI North America. “By
highlighting these winning efforts, we hope to inspire all resorts
in the RCI network to do their part to protect the environment,
while also offering unforgettable vacation experiences to owners
and guests.”
The highest honor in the RCI Green Awards program, the Platinum
Award, was awarded to Club Wyndham Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina. The beach vacation resort was recognized for its
commitment to energy efficient lighting, which makes up more than
75% of lighting across the entire property. The resort also
utilizes renewable energy throughout its amenities and has a
staff-led sustainability committee that meets quarterly.
The Gold RCI Green Award went to Club Wyndham Palm-Aire in
Pompano Beach, Florida. To keep guests cool and energy use low, the
resort utilizes energy efficient beverage machines throughout the
property. Water efficient shower heads, sink faucets and toilet
fixtures have also been installed to promote responsible water
use.
Lastly, the Silver RCI Green Award was bestowed to The Cliffs at
Princeville in Kauai, Hawaii, which employs renewable energy to
minimize grid energy use. The property has invested in third-party
energy audits and connects resort guests with electric vehicle (EV)
car rentals by the hour, including Tesla Model 3’s, available via
the Envoy Mobility app.
The RCI Green Award program is free and open to all RCI
affiliates in North America. RCI also offers a Green Resource
Center on its affiliate website for developers looking to expand
their sustainability efforts. The application process for next
year's RCI Green Awards program will begin in the fall of this
year.
