What is Responsible Tourism?
Responsible tourism is a travel philosophy that encourages minimising negative impacts on the environment and maximising positive contributions to the local economy and society. It’s about making conscious choices throughout the travel experience, from how we operate our hotels to the experiences we offer our guests.
Our Commitment: The Three Pillars of Responsible Tourism
Our commitment to responsible tourism rests on three key pillars: environmental stewardship, cultural preservation, and community development.
Let’s delve deeper into each of these pillars and how we integrate them into every aspect of our business.
1. Environmental Stewardship
- Sustainable Practices: We are dedicated to minimising our environmental footprint. This includes implementing energy-efficient practices, water conservation measures, and responsible waste management systems. We continuously seek ways to reduce our reliance on non-renewable resources and explore alternative energy solutions.
- Respecting the Land: We understand the delicate balance of South India’s ecosystems. We work closely with local conservation organisations to support responsible wildlife viewing practices and habitat preservation efforts. We encourage our guests to participate in eco-tours and educational programmes that foster an appreciation for the region’s natural beauty.
- Preserving Biodiversity: We actively support initiatives that protect endangered species and promote biodiversity. This might involve using locally sourced ingredients in our restaurants to support sustainable agriculture or partnering with organisations that fight deforestation and protect wildlife corridors.
2. Cultural Preservation
- Celebrating Local Traditions: South India boasts a rich tapestry of cultures and traditions. We showcase this heritage through local art installations, cultural performances, and workshops led by artisans. We partner with local communities to ensure they benefit from tourism and that their customs are respected.
- Supporting Heritage Sites: We actively participate in the preservation of historical and archaeological sites. This may involve sponsoring restoration projects or raising awareness about the importance of cultural heritage.
- Promoting Responsible Tourism Practices: We educate our guests on culturally sensitive behaviour and responsible interaction with local communities. This ensures a positive experience for both visitors and residents.
3. Community Development
- Empowering Local Communities: We believe in creating opportunities for local communities to thrive through tourism. We prioritise hiring local staff and providing them with training and development opportunities. We also source our supplies and ingredients from local businesses whenever possible.
- Supporting Social Initiatives: We are committed to giving back to the communities we serve. We partner with local NGOs and charities to support education, healthcare, and infrastructure development projects. We also encourage our guests to participate in volunteer opportunities during their stay.
- Promoting Fair Trade Practices: We are committed to fair trade principles and ensure that all our suppliers and partners operate with ethical labour practices and offer fair compensation to their employees.
