We live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and South Africa attracts visitors from across the globe. A more mindful approach to tourism is essential to sustain and improve our land, water and air, and to lessen our impact on the environment. Not only are travellers beginning to demonstrate a more responsible attitude to their travel experience, but we need to start ‘greening’ our facilities to preserve our environment for future generations.
