Responsible Tourism & Luxury – A Paradox?

Wed, 29 Feb 2012, 11:00am – 11:45am

Tourism and particularly luxury tourism is often criticized for not being sustainable. Six Senses believe there is no contradiction between luxury and sustainability and that combining the height of luxury with the height of sustainability brings the best out of the hospitality experience. Responsible business practices makes business sense. This presentation gives examples how responsible business practices are good for both the environment, socially and economically. It follows the company’s SLOW LIFE philosophy, which very much mirrors LOHAS. It will touch upon topics renewable energy, organic food, wellness, biodiversity, lifestyle and tourism.
