In memory of and inspired by Hugo van Berckel, the Vous Life Foundation will be developed in communities where Vous Hotels & Retreats is situated.
Hugo was described by many as ‘an adventurer’, with a great love for nature. During his early teens he had a great interest in birds and ornithology, and he subsequently travelled the world, mainly in Africa and Asia, with family and friends. He was a keen sportsman, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and had interests including marathon running and an endless love for watersports and sailing.
Hugo’s life was about having a positive impact on people and he inspired them with his energy and enthusiasm. Even though he was busy as the MD - and leading the Dutch office - of private equity company CVC, he always had time for a variety of small sustainable projects in Africa and elsewhere.
His interest in sustainability has inspired the vision for Vous Hotels & Retreats and the Vous Life Foundation.
Our focus will be: Environmental Organic agriculture Food Waste Employment Education Community projects
The ambition is to carry out projects with hotel management, personnel and their families to support the environment and local communities around each hotel.
