Ensuring tourism cares for the environment

Sunsail Flotillas' aim is to protect the marine and waterside environments in all of our operational areas and to support and work with the people of each region. We would ask that you work together with us to leave things ‘BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT’

The Environment

1. Please take care not to drop litter, which not only is unsightly but is harmful to animals. If you can leave places ‘better than you found it’ you will help us to make a real difference.
2. Take the minimum of packaging with you. Soap boxes, wrappers and so on place additional strain on waste disposal systems that may already be unable to cope.
3. Try to use water sparingly. Take showers instead of baths.
4. Use detergents that are eco friendly for cleaning and shampooing, this will prevent pollution to water supplies, the sea and rivers.
5. Turn down/off air conditioning when not required. Switch off lights when leaving a room.

The Economy

1. Respect the local culture and traditions. Ensure that your dress and behaviour is appropriate for the places you visit.
2. Support local craftsmanship and remember bargaining for the sake of it is accepted, but can be overdone.
3. By enjoying the local cuisine, using local suppliers and local guides you will enrich your holiday experience and help support the local economy.
4. Please don’t pick flowers and plants or collect pebbles and seashells. Leave them for others to enjoy. In turn Sunsail Flotillas is doing everything possible to promote responsible tourism, by supporting these economies, employing local staff, complying with local legislation, recycling and in general committing to our destination community partners.
