The Hotel CSR Award, created in 2012 to highlight and promote the work of hotels in the field of CSR, generates more interest among Spanish hotels every year, which, in the words of Manuel López, trustee of the Fundación InterMundial Seguros, “demonstrates that the hotel sector is fully aware of the benefits of implementing these types of respectful practices that minimize the impacts derived from business activity.”

The Hotel CSR Award is an initiative by the InterMundial Foundation, in partnership with Tourism&Law and the Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation (CEHAT), established in 2012 to recognize the efforts made by Spanish hotels in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility.

The award is presented every two years, coinciding with the Spanish Hoteliers Congress of the Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation (CEHAT), which will be held this year in Malaga from May 30th to June 1st.
