A women-led initiative on Sustainable Travel
Ecoplore is a booking platform for curated eco-hotels. We promote only those hotels that are made of mud, wood, bamboo, stone, or any local architecture, and maintain at least 33% greenery on its campus. Our eco-hotels also follow other sustainable measures like rainwater harvesting, solar panels, composting, no plastic zone, organic farming, and so on. Ecoplore is a women-founded and women-managed company. United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has recognized Ecoplore for fulfilling SDG 12.
Why choose Ecoplore
- By promoting eco-hotels, Ecoplore offers a lifetime experience of living in a mud, wood, or stone house.
- Our eco-hotels are located near waterfalls, beside rivers, inside forests or on mountains, far from the noise, crowd, and pollution of the cities.
- Most of our stays grow their own vegetables, fruits, and herbs. You will be served homemade organic meals.
- We emphasize Stay Local, Eat Local, Play Local, Buy Local thereby enabling local communities.
- Ecoplore is the only aggregator platform that personally visits and verifies eco-hotels. A female traveler from our team personally visits and verifies the eco-hotels. This is done to ensure safety, comfort, hygiene and also encourages ‘solo woman travel’.
- Most importantly, if you choose a concrete hotel, you are contributing to the construction of more such concrete hotels. But, if you choose an eco-hotel, you will be encouraging more people to work for conservation.
