According to a statement on Wednesday, the company said the two campaigns, which are part of “Ayla’s social responsibility plans,” aim at shedding light on the importance of sustainability and protection of the marine environment.

It said that could be attained by protecting coral reefs and fisheries and encouraging employees to participate in the campaign while fostering a culture of volunteer work.

Ayla development CEO Sahl Dudin stressed the importance of the campaigns in maintaining the cleanliness and beauty of Ayla beaches in a way that reflects the vivid image of Ayla and the Aqaba region.

Dudin said that Ayla has supported many initiatives, either individually or through partnerships with local and international institutions and organizations that assist national efforts to protect nature and the environment.

Ayla has adopted many programs and established environmental and natural paths, which made Ayla Oasis an environmentally sustainable destination. This had a clear positive impact on the local community and everyday life in the governorate, the statement said.

Ayla Jean-Francois Durand, general manager of Hyatt Regency Aqaba, pointed to the importance of the initiative in raising awareness and maintaining a clean and safe environment that attracts local, regional, and foreign tourism.

Hyatt Regency Aqaba, he maintained, implements many initiatives and campaigns that highlight the importance of environmental and marine sustainability as well as the significance of preserving marine life in the Aqaba region.

In 2018, Ayla Oasis Development Company signed an agreement with the Royal Marine Conservation Society for the Protection of Marine Environment. Through the agreement, Ayla joined the Blue Flag program, which grants an international environment certificate for B12 Beach Club, La Plage Beach Club, and Ayla Marina, while enforcing sustainable boating tourism with operators in line with European seawater quality standards.
