charter on sustainable and responsibel tourism and travelB. RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL- achieved through compensations in external emissions According
to Climate Care , air travel in particular, currently accounting for
3-5% of CO2 emissions- is one of the fastest growing causes of global
warming. Samui Villas & Homes will implement a voluntary
CO2 offset program for villa guests, villa owners and employees of
SVH-PVH to join. This program is meant to encourage all parties to
voluntarily compensate their impact (by flying, use of ground
transportation and use of electricity) on the natural environment by
offsetting the amount of carbon dioxide (Co2) created, into projects
that aim to reduce the equivalent amount of CO2. Thus, this program
aims at ensuring that every guests travel & stay on Samui becomes
as Carbon Neutral as possible.
All parties’ means:
- SVH-PVH employees,
- Owners of the villas and,
- Guests of the villas.
- Offset flights to Thailand and Samui.
To contribute to the impact of flying, you can offset the amount of
carbon dioxide created by flying into carbon reducing projects. We will
encourage all parties to offset their flight carbon emissions.
- Offset guest‘s electricity, bills.
We will encourage all of our guests to offset their electricity bills
while staying in one of the villas. And we will further, encourage the
owners to match the equivalent amount.
- Offset transport to and from airport:
We will encourage all of our guests and villa owners to offset their
transportation in order to neutralize the carbon impact on the
environment.
Concluding remarks:
To
achieve our goals set forth in this charter, we will seek recognition
and certification by an independent and legitimate auditor. We will
follow a certain methodology for energy measurements on CO2 reductions
recognized by a UN organization, a UN charter or a UN project.
