Great news from Viva Wyndham Resorts, a leading all-inclusive resort brand throughout the Caribbean. Our dive centers are located in Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach hotel in Grand Bahama and in Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach & Palace hotels in Dominican Republic. All the chain of resorts has now eliminated plastic straws.

Why Are Straws So Bad For The Environment?

1. Plastic straws can't be recycled

2. Plastics do not biodegrade, and never fully degrade

3. Plastic straws are among the top 10 items found during beach clean ups. Plastic waste is littering our oceans and threatening the lives of millions of marine animals. When ingesting plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate.

Staring from September 1, 2018, the plastic straws are replaced with biodegradable straws in all the Viva Wyndham Resorts. The objective is to reduce the consumption of plastic in order to contribute to the protection of the environment and specifically, the oceans and marine life beloved by our divers.
