Go Green at these Eco-Friendly All Inclusive Resorts
In honor of Earth Day today, we’re celebrating four of our favorite eco-friendly resorts! Eco-tourism is defined as travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and the well-being of locals as well as incorporates eco-friendly ways of living such as minimizing physical, social and behavioral impacts to the environment. We believe that eco-tourism is one of the rarest and most beautiful ways to explore natural wildlife. Even better, exciting excursions near these eco-friendly resorts may include tours of rare and exotic flowers, viewing turtles and other creatures without disrupting them, exploring colorful caves of Cancun and so much more! Does this sound appealing to you? Check out how to go green at these eco-friendly resorts!
Sandos Caracol Eco Resort
Located in Riviera Maya, Mexico, Sandos Caracol Eco Resort is an environmentalist’s dream come true! Surrounded by natural beauty, guests indulge in a lush environment, all while learning about the local landscapes and wildlife. If you’re seeking adventure, cycle down the bike path through this eco-friendly resort’s jungle… or why not take a tranquil boat ride through the winding Mayan River as you encounter native plants and animals? If you’re an animal lover, the bird sanctuary is a great place to watch multicolored birds in a sacred environment. Sandos Caracol Eco Resort even offers a program where you can plant a tree at the resort to commemorate your stay.
Sandals & Beaches Resorts
All Sandals & Beaches Resorts go through the EarthCheck benchmarking and certification program. Throughout the program team members participate in workshops and seminars conducted by the environmental committee and non-governmental environmental organizations to fully understand how to be eco-friendly. The Waste Management Program teaches staff members how to recycle all materials used at the hotel. To ensure water isn’t being wasted, the Water Conservation Program monitors total water usage on property. Another great aspect of the EarthCheck program is that all hotels determine suitability of products before purchasing to ensure quality of chemicals. If new chemicals or equipment is used, staff will have to become fully trained on how to use them. Don’t forget to take advantage of the unlimited scuba diving where you can swim with beautiful tropical fish!
