We are an independent family owned company, with a vast wealth of experience. Our founding family are as committed to it now as they were in 1961, and we’re excited to be celebrating 50 years of holidaymaking.
It is imperative that to integrate a sustainable way of thinking into the tourism industry, we need to educate and promote responsible travel and lead the way to a sustainable future. The only way that this can be achieved to maximum effect is by using one common approach that everyone recognises, the Travelife Sustainability System.
Sustainable tourism is an industry committed to making a low impact on the environment and local culture, while helping to generate income and employment for local people. The aim is to ensure that development is a positive experience for local people, tour operators and tourists.
Environmentally friendly hotels not only save money for the owner/manager, but also resources for the world, while at the same time letting their guests continue doing good things for the environment. Many guests will be attracted to the green hotel because it is taking environmentally friendly steps. Whether it's water or energy conservation, recycling, or reducing the consumption of natural resources, a positive impact can be made.
Sustainability is starting to matter to consumers; people buy into fair trade, organics and local produce, so why not continue that way of thinking when you go on holiday? There‘s plenty of scope for having a relaxing break without breaking the bank, and at no cost to the environment.
The most important thing to remember is that sustainability is a journey, an unfolding of real life learning, thinking and action that evolves over time. There is no ultimate sustainability destination although there are some significant milestones along the pathway. The more we do now, the brighter the future will be.
