Goa homestay holiday, India
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
All homes affiliated with us follow environmentally friendly practices which do not disturb the ecological balance. Most of the homestays follow the below practices:
- The waste segregation is according to the municipality norms which help in proper disposal.
- Most of the homestays employ water conservation and rain water harvesting.
- A lot of homestays use solar energy to heat water thus conserving electricity.
- Using the company’s vast experience in hospitality industry, we provide training to the homestay owners and their staff.
- We are affiliated with family homes where the host family is staying and unlike hotels there is no construction of buildings required for providing the accommodation to the guests thus preventing pollution.
- The homestays prepare food mostly from their own plantations or gardens which are organic and there are no harmful chemicals used in growing these which help prevent harmful chemicals being released in the atmosphere.
- In case of rural homestays at places like Spiti, the earnings deposited in a communal fund which is used for compensating the loss of animal stock caused by endangered species like snow leopards, thereby avoiding the community from hunting animals from such species.
Community
We pride ourselves in providing alternative earning sources to the local community in the places where the homes are located. The homestays’ owners employ local people to help them run their homestays thus creating employment for the local population. In the case of rural homes, the earnings from the homestay business provide a major source of income for the home owners.
The hosts provide guidance to the guests for the places to do sightseeing and involve in activities through the local population which ensures the tourists spent to reach the grass root level. As many homestays are located in the countryside additional employment is created. We have socially responsible tourism as our founding principle.
