The success of the retreat can happen when people come for a safari and not go on it. People can experience wilderness and find their own thing to do. There is so much to absorb from nature. Our mission has been to build skillsets with the local people and we build experiences from the surroundings, villas, and food," says Keyur Joshi, Founder, Tipai by Wildlife Luxuries, and Co-Founder and COO of Make My Trip. These words could not ring truer today as the world is increasingly focusing on ensuring that carbon footprint is minimal.
ECO SENSITIVITY
Sustainable practices such as responsible water management, minimising waste and employing eco-friendly construction methods can minimise the negative impact on the surrounding natural resources, such as water bodies and wildlife habitats. Additionally, implementing sustainable practices can help reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, which not only benefits the environment but also helps lessen the property's ecological footprint. Sustainable practices also attract eco-conscious tourists who prioritise environmental responsibility when choosing their accommodation.
Michael Dominic, MD & CEO, CGH Earth, says, "As a guest in the forest, we handle nature with sensitive hands. Our spacious cottages sit on stilts without impeding the surrounding forest. Our naturalists play a central role in the experience of Wayanad. Apart from building awareness about the flora and fauna of the region, they dedicate their time to researching the biodiversity of the Wayanad Hills. True to its name - Wayanad, the land of paddy fields - is home to indigenous varieties of rice like Gandhakasala, and Jeerakasala, spices like Wayanadan Chetti Mulake Pepper and more. We feature these grains and spices in our cuisine to give the local farmers the recognition they deserve and deliver the local flavours guests expect."
