Last Tuesday, we introduced you to some of our partners and why they decided for a sustainable life. Sustainability is a big word with many meanings. Today we introduce you to a few more Green Pearls® partners and their reasons why they are committed to sustainable tourism.
Sustainability is luxury
For Keemala, sustainability is a lifestyle, a commitment, and” the heart of our resort. ” But it is also undeniably hard work. “ Our team strives every day to improve and refine our definition of sustainability.”
To do so, the Thai villa wonderland regularly evaluates its unique assets and resources to set realistic and achievable goals.
A nice thought on sustainable tourism? “ For us, travel that offers environmental awareness alongside immersion in a cultural lifestyle is the ultimate luxury.”
Preserve and preserve
When you hear about sustainability, it’s often about energy-saving new developments. A big part of sustainability is also preserving. In Elena Scalambrin’s case, preserving family property and tradition.
She runs the Relais del Maro in Liguria and, from the start, has been careful not only to make the Albergo Diffuso houses modern and comfortable, but also to respect local conditions. Ecological building materials and techniques, the selection of excellent local craftsmen for the furnishings and organic local products offered at breakfast have always been an integral part of the project.
Just as their ancestors once hosted hikers in their inn, Elena, and her family now welcome guests from all over the world with warmth and passion.
Regional and seasonal
“We are mindful of everything that nature gives us,“ is the principle of the Tyrolean Naturhotel Outside. “Wherever possible, we work with partners from the region. From electricians or carpenters to farmers who supply us with regional and seasonal products.“
That pays off twice: You get completely fresh and regional products served at Outside, and the hotel is part of a sustainable cycle that strengthens the region economically and sets it up well for the next generation. “We use energy-efficient materials and technologies that conserve heat and water, use environmentally friendly cleaning products, avoid waste and separate garbage.”
Emission-free city break
Milano Scala, located in the heart of Milan, is the city’s first zero-emissions hotel. The Italian hotel uses renewable energy and 99% biodegradable products. As a special highlight, Milano Scala has a rooftop terrace with a vegetable garden.
You have a view of the Brera district and the towers of the Duomo. The herbs and fruit and vegetables grown here find their way directly into the hotel’s own Healthy & Green Restaurant.
Did our post motivate you to live more sustainably? If so, always remember: if you change just a bit for yourself, it may not make a difference at first glance. But when many do, even small changes make a big difference.
