Increasingly, travellers are seeking out experiences that are not only unique but which are sustainable. Visitors understand that they can’t continuously pilfer the precious gems of a community, but instead can enjoy their gleam and leave them back, polished, for the next visitor – back for those who live there to also enjoy.Eco-travel is no longer a dirty word. It is intended as a low-impact and often small scale alternative to standard commercial mass tourism.
We have environmental education for our guests even in our kid’s clubs, for example about the biodiversity of the area, the wetlands, the birds. We showcase products from our local communities – the olive producer, cheesemakers, beekeepers. We are seeing increased participation in our eco-guided lists.“The culture at Sani Resort has always been to be a positive force. 80% of our staff is local, we have around 60% of our produce locally sourced.
