More and more people are wising up to environmental issues, and holidays should not be an exception. Where to stay is as much as a consideration for thoughtful travelers as how to get there, as some businesses are guilty of things like draining the water from the local area or dumping rubbish on pristine ground.
Tourism is a big business and it's not always ethical or environmental. Luckily, others are more conscientious, offsetting their carbon and not polluting or consuming their ecosystems. Here are some tips on where to stay when you worry about not spoiling the country you're visiting. Let's start by looking at a Thai treasure, a hotel that suits a perfect romantic getaway without the guilt.

If treading lightly is one of your priorities when choosing a luxury hotel, then no trip to Thailand is complete without a relaxing stay at Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga. Real peace of mind comes from knowing that your stay isn't taxing on the environment.
Ethical holiday making needn't mean compromising on quality. The Aleenta is on the beach with breathtaking sunset views across the Andaman sea. There is an incredible sea life to be seen diving, and with a host of neighboring islands, sailing is a another superb way to explore and enjoy azure seas, but from above the surface. There are natural wonders on land too, in Phang Nga Bay National park has extensive caverns and is an area of incredible beauty.

Fairmont have been recognized for their ethical and environmental practices proving once again that class and quality doesn't have to endanger the environment.
