Sustainability is the talk of the town and people are becoming increasingly aware about the positive impact their conscious decisions can have on “Planet and People”. Like any other industry, Tourism is also adapting to this trend. Travelers are increasingly looking for an eco-friendly and responsible holiday post pandemic and we grade such unique vacation rentals using our proprietary Sustainability Index Metrics (SIM) for them to choose from. “Fernweh” is our pilot project to demonstrate SIM to you. It is located in Wayanad, Kerala. We help hosts (vacation rental owners) to design experiences for their guests, adapt sustainable practices that suit them and earn more. Here are a few tips:

1. Use energy-efficient appliances and lighting
2. Install low-flow shower-heads and toilets to conserve water
3. Provide recycling and compost bins for guests
4. Use eco-friendly cleaning products
5. Encourage guests to use public transportation or bikes instead of cars
6. Install solar panels or use renewable energy sources
7. Offer organic, locally-sourced or homemade foods and drinks
8. Provide guests with reusable water bottles and shopping bags
9. Use recycled and sustainable building materials for renovations
10. Support local businesses and eco-tourism activities in the area. By taking these steps, vacation rental owners can reduce their environmental impact, attract eco-conscious travellers and contribute to sustainable tourism practices.        https://www.instagram.com/reel/CrXWSR4giJv/?igshid=ZjE2NGZiNDQ=
