Environmental Tourism At Sir Bani Yas
Since Anantara’s opening on Sir Bani Yas Island in 2008, the practice of planting one mangrove tree per visitor has played a major role in promoting Abu Dhabi’s preservation activities to the country’s tourists.
All guests visiting Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island receive a brief introduction to the environmental facts of the island, as well as its Arabian Wildlife Park with over 15,000 free-roaming animals — one of the largest of its kind in the world. By planting one tree per visitor, Sir Bani Yas has been able to increase the mangrove population on the island drastically. As a result of its conservation eforts, Sir Bani Yas Island was awarded the World’s Leading Sustainable Tourism Destination at the World Travel Awards in 2015.
