Dubai, UAE – 20th April 2026 – Hospitality Management Holding (HMH) a Manafa company, has taken a major step toward protecting the environment by launching the ‘Bahi Upcycled Collections’ at Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel. In collaborative partnership with the renowned environmental advocacy group GreenWarrior.Earth, this ground-breaking initiative establishes a highly practical, scalable circular economy template within the Middle East’s regional luxury hospitality framework.

Luxury hotels naturally use and replace a lot of materials, especially high-quality room linens and fabrics. Recognizing the urgent ecological necessity to move away from linear “take-make-waste” industrial models, the team at Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel designed an internal operational system that entirely intercepts retired hotel linens before they can enter traditional public waste disposal routes. This process completely diverts massive quantities of textiles away from municipal landfills, instead routing them through a meticulous, multi-tiered reclamation pipeline.

Once retired from direct guest operations, the luxury fabrics undergo a rigorous sorting phase to assess structural integrity. They are then subjected to deep sanitization protocols using eco-friendly, hypoallergenic agents that meet the highest hygiene benchmarks. From there, skilled local artisans handle the delicate process of precision restitching. These sanitized fabrics emerge on the other side of the production cycle as high-quality consumer items, including bespoke soft toys for young travelers, ecological tote bags, and versatile guest room storage organizers. Each piece stands as a unique, tactile demonstration of operational waste mitigation and artistic resourcefulness.

This sustainable deployment strongly underscores the property’s profound dedication to the principles of responsible consumption and local community engagement. By breathing an entirely new lifecycle purpose into operating assets that traditionally carry a short shelf-life, the resort successfully establishes a verifiable blueprint for modern ecological luxury. Guests are no longer forced to choose between premium comforts and environmental responsibility; the upcycled collections prove that true luxury can actively contribute to a greener planet.

Furthermore, this localized project does not exist in isolation. It forms a cornerstone of a much wider, aggressive corporate sustainability agenda being rolled out across all properties managed by Hospitality Management Holding (HMH) a Manafa company. By championing these creative, hyper-localized actions, the group is aggressively driving down its overarching operational carbon footprint while aligning closely with the UAE’s grander federal net-zero ambitions. Through the “Bahi Upcycled Collections,” HMH demonstrates to the wider travel industry that the path toward a fully regenerative corporate future begins by beautifully reshaping the very materials already in our hands.

Dubai, UAE – November 15th, 2025: Throughout 2025, Hospitality Management Holding (HMH), a subsidiary of Manafa, has woven corporate social responsibility and environmental stewardship into the very fabric of its operations. The group’s managed properties across the region have delivered a powerful, coordinated programme of initiatives, demonstrating a profound commitment to people and the planet.

The year’s efforts were prominently displayed during the holy month of Ramadan, HMH managed properties launched a series of heartfelt community programmes, including ‘The Little Star Iftar’ for orphaned children in Sharjah and a special iftar for families of determination in Ajman. In a significant logistical effort, teams across Ajman and Dubai distributed hundreds of iftar meals and food boxes to underprivileged families, strengthening strategic partnerships with local charities and authorities.

A cornerstone of HMH’s sustainability drive has been the landmark installation of atmospheric water generators at Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel. This pioneering move makes it the first property in the Northern Emirates to eliminate all single-use plastic water bottles, producing 365,000 litres of drinking water annually from air humidity. This initiative alone cuts 33.58 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions and removes 730,000 plastic bottles from waste streams each year.

Complementing this, the partnership with Dr. Linen Sustainable Ventures has seen over a tonne of textile waste diverted from landfill. Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel and Coral Beach Resort Sharjah have repurposed 1,300kg and 700kg of linens respectively, transforming end-of-life materials into new sustainable products.

The group’s ethos extends to its most valuable asset, its people. Comprehensive Medical Days and enlightening Mental & Emotional Awareness Sessions have been implemented to support employee wellbeing. Furthermore, HMH managed hotels have actively engaged in fostering future talent through career fairs and supported community health with successful blood donation campaigns. A commitment to the environment was also actioned by teams from Coral Dubai Deira Hotel and ECOS Dubai Hotel at Al Furjan, who participated in a beach clean-up at the ecologically sensitive Ras Al Khoor Wetland.

Reflecting on a year of significant progress, Haytham Abdelaziz, COO of HMH, stated: “Our 2025 initiatives are a deliberate and strategic reflection of our core values. We believe that true hospitality extends beyond our hotel walls, encompassing a deep responsibility to our communities and the environment. From the heartfelt community engagements during Ramadan to the investments in cutting-edge technology that drastically reduce our plastic footprint, every action is a step towards our long-term Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. This is not a temporary campaign, but the foundation of our operational philosophy, a continuous journey to integrate meaningful, positive impact into everything we do.”

These concerted efforts across ESG pillars underscore HMH’s leadership in defining a more sustainable and socially conscious future for the hospitality industry.

Following our successful participation at ATM, we were proud to continue these important conversations at the Future Hospitality Summit in Riyadh, where we engaged with industry leaders shaping the future of hospitality in the region.”

The Saudi Ministry of Tourism reports that the hospitality sector’s contribution to GDP is expected to reach 10% by 2030, supported by $800 billion in investments across tourism infrastructure and development projects. HMH’s expansion into key Saudi markets positions the company to capitalize on this growth, particularly in the religious tourism sector where Makkah alone anticipates welcoming 30 million pilgrims annually by 2030.

As HMH continues to strengthen its footprint in Saudi Arabia and across the region, its participation in these landmark industry events underscores the company’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainable growth in the global hospitality sector.
