Top 3 holidays which are kind to the planet
We can all do our bit to help the planet and its people. The tourism industry has a huge impact on local environments and communities which is why it’s extremely important for hotels to integrate into the local communities as much as possible and build sustainably to protect the environment. Here’s our top 3 holidays which are kind to the planet and people.
Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda, Italy
This beautiful eco resort is perched on the edge of Lake Garda. Lefay Resort is the first Italian company in the tourism sector to sign an agreement with the Ministry of the Environment for projects aimed at neutralisation of CO2 emissions. Not only this but they endorse their commitment to the environment and have won several prestigious certifications.
Galomar, Madeira (Portugal)
This brand-new hotel opened in 2018 and was designed to use 100% self-sufficient energy. Galomar is an adults-only hotel overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Not only is the hotel itself designed in a way to minimise the impact on the environment but the sea in front of the hotel is also protected meaning it’s brimming with wildlife.
SwaSwara, India
SwaSwara means your inner peace and true to its name, this is a place to come to release, refocus and recalibrate yourself. It’s idyllically located on the Om beach and surrounded by lush vegetation. They are involved in many local projects including community projects supporting local schools, they employ staff from the local community, they re-use waste water for the gardens, kitchen waste is turned into bio gas used for cooking and the recipes from the kitchen are invariably taken from the food habits of the local community.Why Wellbeing Escapes?
