Eco resorts are an excellent option for the ecologically and socially conscious traveller. Constructed and managed to respect both the natural environment and the native people, they are ideal for holidaymakers who want to give something back to the tropical paradises that accommodate them. Eco-friendly resorts are often constructed from natural, renewable resources and are designed to cause minimal disruption to the local environment, making them perfect destinations for responsible travel. In general, they promote recycling, energy efficiency, water conservation and creation of economic opportunities for local communities.
