Travelling sustainably in 2020
Taking a sustainable approach to travel is definitely on our minds as we go into 2020. If it's important to you too, ask us about hotels, lodges & villa operators that have a sustainable mindset. The impact on the local community is so important; there are some brilliant practices out there so if you'd like to explore these as you decide where to go & where to stay in 2020, talk to us. Greenwashing is rife in the travel industry so don't just think that 'eco' ticks the box.
Nihi Sumba in Indonesia has local communities at its core; funding water projects, primary schools, nutrition, malaria vaccinations and training & employment opportunities through The Sumba Foundation. Ideal in our summer months, this villa-only resort provides privacy and space for families and a wonderfully-original choice of activities from surfing to cocoa-making in the island's chocolate factory, yoga and beach horse-riding. If you're lucky, you might experience a turtle release.
