Eco Hotels of the World

I have to admit that I have travelled. And I absolutely loved every single minute. As a child, our family packed a tent, and explored Europe. Magical. As a grown up, I was lucky enough to spend the best part of a year, discovering Australia and parts of Asia with my little brother. The experience changed my life and my brother is still my best friend.

Still, I do wonder about the impact our voyage had on the environment. And now, I am far more careful when we plan any of our trips.

Alex Conti’s new book, Eco Hotels of the World gives an honest account of world travel. It lists 87 green holiday venues around the globe, rating them in five individual sections from one to five green stars relating to: ‘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.

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. An absolute must for anyone bitten by the travelling bug.
