Sustainable or green travel as a guiding set of principles is fortunately beginning to see its integration into more and more traditional tourism and destinations. Those principles involve many aspects of managing a place as a sustainable destination, including seeing that local people are involved and are benefiting equitably from tourism, instituting careful environmental management, conservation and preservation of the place, sensitivity to climate change, as well as helping to preserving possibilities of authentic interaction for travelers.

 

GreenSpot.travel believes that travel can contribute positively to communities, and can minimize its impact on the earth by managing every aspect of the travel business in as sustainable a manner as possible. A big part of the travel experience is the lodging. The type of hotels you stay in throughout your trip can have major impacts on both the natural surroundings and the local people – and these impacts can be both positive and negative.

Some important ways lodging can contribute positively is through their conservation of energy and water, their use of recycled, recyclable and alternative building materials for construction, utilizing local and organic foods in their restaurants to support local farmers and business-owners, employing local residents and having strong community ties to integrate services with the area economy and culture.

 

We have put together lists of green lodging that includes luxury ecolodges, locally-owned hotels and properties with green initiatives on many different levels. The lists will continue to grow as we get to know the best examples there are around the world.
