replying to @Dianapersis1 @Dianapersis1 @insidetravellab @ExclusiveCamps That makes more sense. 🙂
So you only heat and use the water, which is needed. Nice one. But it also sounds like a lot of work for the staff, as I guess most will have showers around the same time? #ttot

A3 An real effort (of the resort) to be #plasticfree would make me more likely to stay there 🤔

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes @anuradhagoyal @insidetravellab You're right, Melvin. Easier to keep it dark than light (and less cost). So yes, the question is when dark is needed, how did the hotels not realize how to do it? #TTOT

replying to @aTravelCompanio @aTravelCompanio I know that many beaches in tourism areas get cleaned every morning around sunrise. #ttot

A3 Before I book I check how eco friendly a place really is. Is it based on facts or is it green washed for marketing purposes? #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @TravelDudes @anuradhagoyal Even in the Middle East, guests want a way to find their bedroom or the toilet in the night! Stayed at a place that used candles and recycled the wax. #ttot

A3 Decisive Factors: Local/independent resort owners. Revenue kept locally. Local staff. Activities that preserve historical & cultural heritage: music, dance, languages, crafts, cuisine #TTOT Image: https://t.co/jyGBM7jD3H Building a timber raft & sailing it.

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes @SonjaSwissLife @anuradhagoyal Hm - maybe the night manager is jealous of guests sleeping and that's why they crank the TV remote and phone panel up to a gazillion! And have an inch wide gap under the door and a well-lit corridor lighting up the room! #TTOT

A3. Some factors that I would consider about an Eco tourism resort.
- Eco-friendly measures to reduce wastage and improve sustainability
- Using less plastic
- Eduction and awareness programmes for resort guests

A1 - In Helsinki, hotels had separate bins for recyclable materials and general waste. Plus somewhere to donate clothes if you don't want them at the end of a trip #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @anuradhagoyal @insidetravellab I've stayed in so many hotel rooms, where the curtains are not wide or thick enough, so that it gets light in the morning. This can be nice, but the guest should have the option to choose. ;-) #ttot
