MOST OF YOUR GUESTS WON’T CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOUR. HERE’S WHY (AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT).
As an ecotourism operator, you have a strategic role to play in converting more tourists to make eco-friendly choices. Attracting visitors who are not particularly environmentally conscious and changing their behaviours is hard work. Moreover, it can be frustrating to see them not following the eco-friendly recommendations you’ve put in place.

DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT DWELLINGS DREAMS ARE MADE OF (GET IT?)
Making unforgettable memories is the best part of a trip and doing things out of the ordinary is a sure-fire way to make those memories last. While it is easy to find activities that offer something different, we often forget that the right type of accommodation can also provide the same kind of experience. We are proud that we have a diverse range of certified accommodation operators who are offering unique nature experiences to their guests. We have listed some of our favourites below to inspire your next trip (although, if your anything like us you won’t require any inspiration!).
