Eco lodges, also known as eco-friendly or sustainable lodges, are a type of tourism accommodation that focuses on reducing their impact on the environment and local communities.

 

They are becoming increasingly popular as travellers are looking for more responsible and sustainable ways to explore the world.

The development of eco lodges presents a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors looking to tap into the growing demand for sustainable tourism.

 

Eco lodges can range from simple, off-the-grid huts to luxurious, high-end resorts. With limited permanent structures and amenities, capital expenditure tends to be limited. Communal gathering spaces are prioritised, with limited F& B options.

 

This allows more flexibility for developers and landowners, while still attracting high rates.

​

Regardless of their size or luxury level, the key factor that defines an eco-lodge is its commitment to sustainability.
