Discovering Morocco is a real treat, and staying at the
Little Morocco

dwelling, full of locally made furniture and pottery.

Luxury, low-impact camping in France
Camping is not usually associated with luxury. But at the
Canvas Chic
campsite, on the edge of the beautiful Ardeche Gorge nature
reserve, traditional Asian tents become plush (but
sustainable) accommodation. Great for romantic retreats and
fun family holidays alike.

Green tour operators in Fiji
Fiji is a popular destination for tourists, and for such a
small country, the large influx inevitably takes its toll.
Fiji Adventures
, as well as using indigenous Fijians as guides, pledges a
great deal of support for the creation and maintenance of
safe drinking water systems.

Rural retreats in Wales
Under the Thatch Cottages
is collection of quirky holiday homes in West Wales, run by
idiosyncratic local hero Greg Stevenson. The cottages were
restored using lime rather than cement, while other green
highlights include reed-bed sewage systems and wood-chip
boilers. And what do they use for insulation? Sheep's
wool, of course…!

Daintree Rainforest
If you're thinking about staying a little closer to
home,
Cooper Creek Wilderness
is a wonderful refuge where visitors can witness the
stunning biodiversity of the Daintree – one of
Australia's best-loved natural treasures. And by
visiting, you'll be supporting a major conservation
effort.
