Our brands
Sunvil has been at the forefront of environmental initiatives for 25 years and is committed to, and passionately believes in, the principles of responsible tourism. For the company, this means building close relationships with its local suppliers and working alongside host communities to develop a sustainable and culturally sensitive tourism industry which aims to bring long-term social, economic and environmental benefits.
Sunvil, together with its accommodation suppliers, is using Travelife to improve the sustainability of its holiday programmes. By adopting the system the company hopes to educate its suppliers; introduce and improve environmental management systems at its featured properties; and address the adverse social impacts of its operations. Improvements, no matter how small, can make a real and notable difference to those who live and work within host communities.
Every destination in the world is unique in terms of its natural environment, local traditions and culture. It is these differences which make holidays special and drive our desire to see and experience more of the planet. Sustainable business practices can help safeguard these attributes and ensure that there will be inspirational and interesting places for us to visit in the future, whilst allowing communities to develop and grow.
All hospitality facilities have the potential to mitigate the negative, direct and indirect, impacts of their business operations. The Travelife Sustainability System allows consumers to select properties which are committed to protecting and enhancing the natural and cultural environment of their destinations and the welfare of their employees.
Consumers have an incredible power to influence change! An increased demand for properties with proven sustainable business practices will increase awareness and competition in this area. A greater number of properties working to reducing their impacts will slowly improve the ability of the tourism industry to shape the future of our world.
