EcoBuzz: Sustainable Tourism in Kenya

Sustainable tourism is not just a “buzz” word. There are increasing numbers of hotels, lodges, campsites and community based tourism products that are trying to turn a profit whilst also taking care on the environmental and social impacts of their operations. The next time you decide to take a holiday, why not choose from places that have been eco-rated? Ecotourism Kenya operates an eco-rating scheme that has certified approximately 50 tourism businesses around the country. Look out for these bronze, silver and gold rated properties and support companies that take their environmental and social responsibilities seriously, visit www.ecotourismkenya.org for more information.
