Enviromental

Small Luxury Hotels of the World is the first group of small, independent, luxury hotels to adopt an initiative and it comes at a time when an increasing number of global travellers are concerned about the impact that tourism is having on the environments, economies and communities in which it functions. Particular concerns include environmental damage and destruction, social and cultural degradation and economic hardships on local communities. However, by practising Caring Luxury, Small Luxury Hotels of the World properties can help maximise the positive effects of tourism, such as creating jobs and benefiting small businesses, enhancing guests’ awareness of local culture and traditions and identifying ways to conserve and protect areas.

All in all, Caring Luxury is about making better places to live and visit, while at the same time providing enriching and rewarding experiences for guests who stay at Small Luxury Hotels of the World properties.
