Coral Beach Resort Sharjah Champions Climate Action as a Glasgow Declaration Signatory
Dubai, UAE – May 20th, 2026 – Demonstrating a profound institutional commitment to environmental stewardship, Coral Beach Resort Sharjah, has officially taken a monumental step forward by becoming a registered signatory of the global Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism. As a prominent member of the hospitality portfolio of Hospitality Management Holding (HMH), a subsidiary of Manafa LLC, this milestone directly positions the coastal resort as a clear pioneer of regional sustainability within the United Arab Emirates. This major structural alignment follows closely on the heels of the property receiving the prestigious “Sustain Sharjah” award from the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority, validating its historical eco-friendly operations.
By formally binding itself to the framework of the Glasgow Declaration, this exceptional property has pledged to develop and execute a comprehensive, data-driven twelve-month climate action plan tailored specifically for systemic decarbonization. This tailored roadmap will focus intently on maximizing energy efficiency, eliminating single-use plastics, and restructuring resource consumption to dramatically lower the property’s overall carbon footprint. Additionally, the plan will incorporate innovative, regenerative tourism practices aimed at preserving the delicate surrounding marine and terrestrial ecosystems for future generations.
This environmental commitment reflects the broader corporate mandate established across all HMH managed properties to actively support the federal net-zero targets of the United Arab Emirates. Over the next year, the management team will collaborate directly with international climate experts to implement verifiable environmental practices, proving that premium leisure experiences can coexist harmoniously with rigorous ecological preservation. Through these strategic efforts, the resort sets a benchmark for the Middle Eastern tourism industry, highlighting how localized hospitality assets can successfully drive meaningful change on a global scale.
