Eco-Friendly Resorts

The Turquoise Holiday Company is an environmentally responsible and carbon conscious luxury tour operator. Since the organisation’s inauguration in 2002 its members have worked tirelessly to scour the globe for the most carbon sensitive and progressively innovative destinations, hotels and resorts to add to their ever expanding
luxury holidays portfolio.
Turquoise understand that being ‘green’ is not simply about switching the lights off as you leave the room but is an ethos, a philosophy that should pervade into all aspects of your life, including travel. Despite establishing themselves as award winning luxury holiday specialists the company is not defined by clichéd or overblown grandeur, but instead creates authentic and meaningful travel encounters that immerse clients into local culture and practice, proliferating a basis of knowledge and understanding that is vital to the ‘green’ cause.
They appreciate that respect and responsibility are conducive to green travel. Just as crucial as scrutinizing and managing your carbon impact is the need to support local economies, being responsive and receptive to new beliefs and customs and valuing local environments and wildlife. It is via these experiences that Turquoise not only hopes to offer its clientele the holiday of lifetime, but also determines to pass on newly found or enriched reflections and perspectives that will go so far to protecting our planet; when we see the beauty and importance of what is at jeopardy, they argue, we will endeavour even more to preserve and protect that which is so dear.
Also enjoying a burgeoning honeymoons collection, when selecting new accommodations or destinations for their consideration, the Turquoise team personally visit and assess each new prospective addition to ensure that their exacting standards for responsible and environmentally sympathetic tourism are maintained.
Turquoise strives to incorporate as many eco-friendly resorts and hotels into their brochure as possible and this can be evidenced by the vast number of Turquoise properties that feature in ecohotelsoftheworld.com and itsagreengreenworld.com travel directories; two excellent resources for eco-friendly hotels all over the world. From South Africa to the South Pacific the company is associated with only the most exclusive establishments such as Six Senses Soneva Fushi  in the Maldives, Tanzania’s Chombe Island Coral Park, Frégate Private Island in the Seychelles and Cousine Island, also located in the Seychelles and which was voted at the recent World Travel Awards, the ‘World’s Leading Green Destination’.
