“Eco-Havens: Where Nature and Hospitality Thrive Together”
At GPT we place a strong emphasis on selecting accommodations that prioritize the harmonious coexistence with their natural surroundings. Our foremost concern is the well-being of our valued guests and dedicated staff, as well as our commitment to positively impacting the local communities we engage with.
These carefully chosen hotels typically offer an array of enriching tours, allowing you to immerse yourself in the captivating beauty of the surrounding rainforests and pristine beaches. They have a steadfast dedication to supporting local micro-businesses, exclusively outsourcing services to these enterprises. Furthermore, these establishments actively seek out local partners who share their profound commitment to the preservation of our precious natural world.
In our quest for sustainable lodging options, we favor hotels that apply sustainability at onsite, here are some examples:
Sustainable Lodging Practices to keep in mind:
- Chemical-Free Pools: Instead of using chemicals, hotels implement innovative onsite biological systems for wastewater purification.
- Responsible Irrigation: The biological systems not only purify wastewater but also enable responsible irrigation of lush gardens, particularly crucial in regions with scarce water resources.
- Organic Cleaning Products: Eco-conscious establishments choose 100% organic cleaning products, reducing their environmental footprint.
- Onsite Greenhouses: As part of comprehensive sustainability efforts, hotels establish onsite greenhouses to foster the growth of organic produce.
- Elimination of Plastic Water Bottles: In alignment with environmental stewardship commitments, hotels consciously decide to eliminate plastic water bottles from their resorts.
- Reduction of Plastic Waste: The elimination of plastic water bottles contributes to the reduction of plastic waste, promoting a more sustainable and eco-friendlier atmosphere.
- Wildlife Conservation: Implementing measures to protect and preserve local wildlife, including the incorporation of bird-friendly architecture and landscaping practices.
- Educational Initiatives: Providing information and educational materials to guests about sustainable practices, local ecosystems, and how they can contribute to conservation efforts.
- Low-Impact Construction: When constructing or renovating facilities, using environmentally friendly building materials and low-impact construction techniques.
The accommodations are more than just places to rest; they are beacons of hope, where hospitality and environmental stewardship unite. By selecting eco-conscious havens, we become part of a global movement toward responsible tourism, leaving a positive impact on the destinations we visit and supporting local communities in the process.
