EarthCheck is the world’s largest certifier of sustainable travel and tourism operators, and will work with the luxury brand portfolios of Heritance, Aitken Spence Hotels & Resorts and Adaaran, Sri Lanka’s biggest multinational hotel chain said.

“Environmental sustainability is part of our corporate commitment to responsible business,” said B.H.R.
