LEEDS, ENGLAND, Sep. 22 -/E-Wire/--
www.ecobookers.com is a unique new travel site where the independent traveller can find a range of fabulous eco-friendly accommodation, obtain an instant price quote and book or request a room online.
|
The site can be searched by destination, but for those in need of inspiration there are also a range of lifestyle sections including Eco Luxury, Eco Families and Eco on a budget.
|
ecobookers came about through a love of Travel – visiting new destinations where you experience sights, smells and sounds you'd never previously imagined and where you're thrown head-first into a culture completely different to your own.
|
The problem though, historically, is that no sooner is an untouched gem 'discovered' than the charter airlines, chains of hotels and fast-food stores follow, spoiling the beauty and often making little, or no, contribution to the local economy. So how do you travel without making yourself part of the problem? Where can you go to enjoy things how they're meant to be, knowing you're not ruining it for future generations? The answer lies in responsible travel, which involves respecting the environment and the people of the places you travel to.
|
One element of travelling responsibly is finding eco-friendly accommodation in which to rest your head. We know from our own experience that finding eco-friendly accommodation can be hard work, especially as the term is so loosely defined - how do you know that a hotel or lodge really is eco-friendly and not just green-washing themselves to cash in on your conscience? That's where ecobookers comes in.
|
At ecobookers.com we have a fantastic variety of carefully-selected accommodation, ranging from jungle lodges and treehouses to luxury camps and boutique hotels, to suit every taste and budget - and more are being added every day!
|
Not only are these fantastic accommodations in beautiful locations, they are also eco-friendly. Whether they are active in wildlife conservation or in supporting and improving the lives of their local community, these accommodations not only minimise their footprint but also make a positive impact on their environment. So that you know exactly how they help, there is an eco-policies section on every hotel page, providing you with the full details and allowing you to decide for yourself if they pass the test.
