Eco-resorts<\/strong>, eco-stays, sustainable hospitalities, eco-friendly hotels… there are so many names! But have you ever wondered\u00a0what should\u00a0an eco-stay have to be defined as such?<\/strong>\u00a0 Let’s Ecoplore,\u00a0one of the many\u00a0Ecobnb’s partners, which is based in India, decided to ask this question to its community. Here’s what came out of it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The eco stays property:<\/strong> it is of major importance that the land hasn’t been taken from the local population to build some kind of hospitality structure. It often happens that rich people from other countries only decide to invest in such a business to make a lot of money. So this is why being sustainable means promoting those eco-stays owned by the local community<\/strong> living in the surroundings. This is\u00a0very likely guaranteeing their interests. When “unknown” or non-local owners buy the land, it should always be checked whether this has a positive return for the community, jobs for example.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • The environment hosting the l’eco-stay.<\/strong>\u00a0If the hospitality is surrounded by nature, the good practices for sustainable tourism<\/strong> should always be supervised. Let’s think about India, where structures are built in Natural Reserves and so they offer guests the chance to see local and wild animals. But if this implies taking away spaces from animals and putting them in danger… this is surely not\u00a0something environment-friendly to do! Once more, it is of major importance to understand the owners’ intentions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • The construction materials.<\/strong>\u00a0Of course, bio-architecture<\/strong> is one of the decisive factors to understand whether the eco-stay is really green<\/em> on nor. But building with woods doesn’t automatically means to act sustainable: is it local wood? How many trees where cut? Where other trees planted?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Here are the 10 greenest and most beautiful eco-stays<\/strong> in the magic country of India.<\/p>\n
