Fairways & Bluewater Boracay’s journey to success and excellence is one for the books. From an exclusive property that was known to just a few, it is now a proudly Filipino homegrown world-class resort brand with a professionally run organization that is making its indelible mark both in the local and global tourism industry as evidenced by the multiple international awards, recognitions, and certifications it has been receiving.

December 2023 marks the 5th year of being the only resort in Boracay Island that has a triple ISO certification, as conferred by a Dubai-based certifying body. Fairways & Bluewater ends 2023 with a monumental success in completing yet another year of triple ISO certification despite the challenges and limitations. Catherine Marcelo, Fairways & Bluewater’s General Manager shares “It will be recalled that in December 2018, right after the 6-month closure of Boracay Island, Fairways & Bluewater made a historic feat when it got its certification for three ISO standards in one-swing when others would traditionally work on each standard separately. Fairways proudly holds certifications on ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management System), and ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health & Safety Management System) as confirmed through rigorous and strictly methodical quarterly internal audits and annual surveillance audits by the Dubai-based certifying body.” Ms. Marcelo adds “The passion of the Philippine government to strengthen the tourism industry and promote excellence in delivering the warm Filipino hospitality to the world without ever compromising the welfare of the environment and the health of the community is very much aligned with the advocacy of Fairways for environmental preservation and sustainability.”
