Far from simply being business decisions, environmentally conscious policies are actually part of the draw for tourists
Imagine heading to bed after a long day outdoors, horseback riding, fishing or backcountry hiking. You’re staying in a tent – but this is not your usual camping trip. Your canvas tent has a skylight so you can gaze at the stars from your king-size bed, a hot tub sits just outside for optimal relaxation and, if it’s a chilly night, there’s a glass-fronted fireplace to keep things cozy. You’re at, an off-grid five-star eco-resort located on a private, 300-acre estate in B.C.’s cowboy country.
Even better, you can enjoy all this luxury knowing you’re not disrupting your surroundings. The tent is set on a raised wooden platform to reduce environmental impact. The hot tub is wood-fired. And each structure is built according to traditional frontier and Indigenous designs, so they exist in harmony with the regenerating forest that surrounds the camp.
This sustainable approach to tourism informs Siwash’s entire property, which also includes a main ranch house and private suite in a log barn. Even during peak season, the all-inclusive wilderness resort produces only one bag of garbage per week – and sometimes less. It runs on solar power, uses only biodegradable cleaning products and heats buildings using wood-burning furnaces.
Far from simply being business decisions, these environmentally conscious policies are actually part of the draw for tourists, who are more interested than ever in trips that minimize negative impacts on a destination’s environment, culture and local economy. And increasingly, resorts, transit operators and hotels are stepping up to ensure guests have an incredible travel experience while achieving those sustainability goals.
Travellers are prioritizing meaningful travel experiences that leave a positive impact on the places they visit.
