Travel with purpose
We love to travel, and there are so many positive things associated with traveling: you discover new places, gain insight into new cultures and lifestyles, you may gain a new perspective on the world or yourself.
Our mission is to inspire you to choose a slightly different way to travel. We want to inspire you to travel consciously. Our intention is to design trips that support selected partners that contribute to local employment, conservation or community initiatives, and we explain these contributions on each trip page.
As hotels, planes and other means of transport often leave a negative footprint on our climate and environment, we cannot in good conscience claim that we are arranging sustainable travel. But we would like to call it conscious travel – although most of our travels go to places where flights are the only way to travel here.
Most of us have a laid back attitude when it comes to painting a picture about ourselves. You may eat a little differently, opt out of the extra car trip or look at your energy consumption in the home or at work.
What we mean by “conscious travel” is travel, where we as guests treat the places we visit with respect. This can mean, for example:
- that you as a traveler choose to stay in smaller hotels that can demonstrate specific measures to reduce environmental impact, such as renewable energy, water conservation, waste management or locally sourced food
- that you as a traveler choose to stay in hotels where the hotel actively intends to be positive force in the local community – both culturally and in terms of nature preservation
- that you as a traveler choose to stay in hotels that support the development of the local community and that work for equality and fairness terms and local employment
At many of our destinations, you can see for yourself and experience how our partners work for conscious travel, and we hope this can give you an idea of what values it creates – values you help to strengthen by traveling with Ecolyx. For each trip you will find the section “How my trip contributes”. Here you can learn more about how your trip contributes to the destination you choose to visit.
