charter on sustainable and responsible 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.
