I was lucky enough to be sent a review copy of the fab Eco Hotels of the World Book, written by Alex Conti. If you are planning a holiday, whether it be here in the Uk or to far reaching destinations, this really is a must read book.
What is it?
This is a book all about green destinations from all around the world, from the UK to New Zealand and more… It gives you an in depth review of all 87 venues chosen. Printed on FSC sustainable paper, by a printer who adheres to strict environmental standards and it has the carbon footprint offset. Each destination has been awarded a green rating of 1 to 5 stars. Whether you are looking for a luxury or you want to camp out in the desert this book has it all. My kids have had great fun, picking out destinations of where we should be going and also learning a bit more about how it is possible to visit places, but still be eco-aware.
Who is testing it?
Me, Brenda, travel lover who is on a light green journey and is trying to become more eco-friendly in my life choices. With an abundance of choice, that this book offers, there need never be a need now not to choose a greener holiday option next time.
Set Up
The book is well laid out and easy to read. You have your intro, travel tips, then the destinations are all listed under the continents, Eco Lives tit bits, Eco tips and an A-Z Directory.

Alex and the team have done an amazing job & spent a lot of time on this book…and it shows! We have put a copy in each of our guest rooms and the feedback is fabulous! One of our top corporate travel agencies based in JHB recently came across the book at Shiluvari, and now uses this as THE travel guide for responsible travel for all their top corporate clients…well done to Alex and your team…

It is due to Alex Conti’s professionalism, seriousness, valuable suggestions and kind encouragement that we decided to do the necessary effort to become the first eco rated hotel (Villa & Chambres d’Hotes) in Mauritius. His book no doubt reflects his vision, commitment and valuble contribution to making the world a better place, especially for travellers and holiday-makers.
Alex really does know his stuff. His book is fab. In fact, we love his work so much, he regularly writes and contributes for our Travel Section on the magazine.
The book is a must read for anyone wishing to make a considered holiday choice.
