Eco Hotels of the World
“Eco Hotels of the World” book recently launched on Amazon – guiding all holiday makers to the pleasures of guilt-free responsible travel
From business trips to family holidays, camping to luxury spas, travel is an integral part of today’s society, but with green and environmental issues surrounding responsible travel so much higher on the agenda, what on earth should we do to keep our travel as ethical and sustainable as possible? How can we feel the pleasure of holidaying without the stab of guilt that often accompanies it?
Help is now at hand – from the creators of independently researched and certified website www.ecohotelsoftheworld.com comes their first comprehensive, “greenly” produced book “Eco Hotels of The World” – available online from Amazon from today, 10th November. The guide, printed on FSC sustainable paper and with the carbon footprint offset with Blue Ventures Carbon Offset, proves without a doubt that self-indulgence can co-exist with a clear conscience.
Helping all of us to get away from guilt whatever our holiday or travel pleasure, Eco Hotels of the World lists 87 green holiday venues around the globe, rating them in five individual sections from one to five green stars: Energy, Water, Disposal, Eco-Active and Protection.
“The book is the culmination of our work collecting and rating green establishments, and has been produced entirely independently without taking money from the listed properties, ensuring complete honesty and impartiality from our reviewers to give the public a genuine appraisal of the venues and their claims and qualities,” says the book’s author Alex Conti.
In the book you will find destinations including safari parks, island dwellings and even beaches in Alaska, and is intended for use by eco-warriors and eco-wonderers alike. Whatever your green credentials, the guide makes being green easy and fun. The book contains 600 full colour images, detailed information, honest reviews and an Eco Tips section.
Website venture ecohotelsoftheworld.com started with a handful of volunteers less than a year ago and has proved so successful after widespread online visibility that the book was created.
The reviews are compiled by a team of editors who research the properties and score them using a strict vetting procedure. They also rely upon volunteers feeding back from around the globe on their genuine travels and personal impressions of the eco hotels they have visited.
Timeout says of the website “Now there’s no excuse: plan your holidays with an eco-conscience this season,” and Panorama has said it is an important “point of reference for travellers all over the world.”
The book is available from now at Amazon at the discounted price of £9.20 to coincide with its launch (usual price £13.95).
