what we do

 

We plant trees and protect forests to balance the environmental impacts of tourism.

 

Tourism contributes an estimated 8%* of our world-wide carbon dioxide emissions and often endangers the natural beauty on which the industry depends.    

 

EcoStay offers hotels and their guests an opportunity to take responsibility for their environmental impact.  We aggregate contributions from our member hotels, and invest directly in local conservation projects to plant trees and protect mature-growth forests that would otherwise be lost to logging or commercial development.
