Red Sea Global, Saudi Arabia's developer of regenerative tourism destinations, has launched the world's first resort certification for protecting natural night skies. "Red Sea Global is integrating responsible lighting into every stage of development to protect the ecological integrity of the night environment," said Raed Albasseet, group chief environment and sustainability officer, Red Sea Global. The DarkSky Approved Resort certification builds on DarkSky International's existing DarkSky Approved Lodging programme, launched in 2023. The organisation worked with Red Sea Global to create new guidelines specifically for resorts, which require more extensive lighting standards. Images courtesy of Red Sea Global
