Sustainability is crucial for a tourism business for several reasons. First, it helps to protect the natural and cultural attractions that are the basis of the tourism industry. By conserving these resources, the business ensures their availability for future generations. Second, sustainability can lead to cost savings and operational efficiencies through measures such as energy and water conservation. Third, adopting sustainable practices can enhance the business’s reputation and appeal to environmentally conscious travellers, thereby attracting more customers. Finally, by supporting local communities and preserving their way of life, sustainable tourism businesses can contribute to social and economic development in the areas they operate. Ultimately, sustainability is important for tourism businesses to ensure their long-term viability and minimize negative impacts on the environment and society.

Our Wilding pine removal/ adopt a plot scheme provides the element of community to our Sustainability program.

Our plot is located on Ben Lomond (above Skyline Queenstown) and is accessible by foot. Our guides visit annually to remove juvenile pines, along with our Limitles groups who love to give back to the community.
