The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts has been named a Global Vision Honoree in Travel + Leisure's 2025 Global Vision Awards. 

 

The hotel is recognised for its commitment to sustainable and responsible travel experiences while preserving India's cultural heritage. 

 

The awards recognise companies, individuals, destinations, and organisations that are making significant strides in sustainability, community engagement, and responsible tourism.

 

"This recognition from Travel + Leisure is a testament to the many efforts we have made to integrate sustainability and responsible tourism practices across our portfolio," said Anuraag Bhatnagar, Chief Executive Officer, The Leela , "We have always believed that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand. This award reinforces our commitment to creating meaningful experiences that respect and celebrate local communities and environments."

 

 The Leela's recognition is attributed to its initiative, Leela Ke Phool, which upcycles florals into charcoal-free incense sticks and cones infused with Tishya by The Leela, the brand's signature fragrance.

 

This partnership not only minimises floral waste and reduces pollution but also fosters women's empowerment by training artisans to handcraft these sustainable products.

 

The Leela's sustainability initiatives extend across all its properties in key Indian business and leisure destinations, integrating local art, culture, and cuisine while implementing responsible practices in energy conservation, waste management, and community engagement. -TradeArabia News Service
