This resort within nature believes that thoughtful eco-tourism can make a positive impact on the environment and the community.

Built within nature, Hamanasi recognizes the importance of maintaing habitat for flora and fauna. Part of its efforts include conserving its littoral forest, one of the most threatened types of forests in the world as they are cleared for coastal development, and reforesting a previously denuded property it acquired.

All Hamanasi structures are sustainably designed, from the ample use of windows to maximize natural light, to the ceiling fans and screened windows that provide an alternative to air conditioning. The resort also uses earth-friendly soaps, shampoos, and cleaning supplies, which are purchased in bulk to reduce their carbon footprint from transport.

At Hamanasi, all tours are guided by Belize Tourism Board-certified guides who take the time to inform guests about all flora and fauna that they will encounter on their tours – on land and under water. Guests also learn how to minimize their impact during tours, such as following maintained trails, not touching coral or other animals, and not taking anything that they may see during their excursion.

Over 97% of Hamanasi’s employees are Belizean and from the surrounding communities, with a 41:59 women-to-men ratio. Moreover, the resort aims to groom its managers and supervisors from within.

Pioneering in Pokhara, Nepal: The Story of Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge

Historically a commercial hub connecting India and Tibet, Pokhara evolved to be a metropolitan city with far more to offer than just trade. Tucked into the Himalayas and sitting on the picturesque Phewa Lake, Pokhara let nature lead the way. The name for Nepal’s second largest city comes from the Nepali word “Pokhari” meaning “pond” so it’s no surprise that natural formations are Pokhara’s greatest protagonist.
