Nature has blessed us with the serenity of the backwaters, and it is up to us to maintain it. Exotica Cruises believes that any enjoyment of nature should not come at its cost. For that purpose, we ensure our pledge of eco-tourism along with your tour through the waters is equally luxurious and sustainable. While you spend time on our Alappuzha houseboat, you are not only a guest but also part of a revolution in sustainable tourism. Our activities, such as choosing energy-efficient materials or disposing of waste, narrow down to being environmentally friendly in one way or another.
A Houseboat Experience That Respects Nature
Traveling in these waters of Kerala is a privilege, and we take care that our operations are still eco-friendly. One of the major actions we have taken is avoiding using plastic and its products onboard. Rather than using bottled water, we provide purified drinking water in reusable bottles. We also make use of biodegradable utensils and avoid using disposables whenever we can.
There are countless varieties of water birds, fish, and other aquatic creatures dwelling in the backwaters of Alleppey. This is a very sensitive habitat and can easily be polluted and sullied by tourism activities. This is why our houseboat in Alleppey follows strict waste disposal techniques. We use biodegradable cleaning agents and materials that will not pollute the water. Our sewage facilities make sure nothing poisonous is drained into the backwaters.
Supporting Local and Sustainable Living
Sustainability is not just about reducing waste; it is also about supporting the local community. The food served on our houseboats is sourced from local farmers and fishermen. Freshly caught fish, organic vegetables, and traditional Kerala spices make every meal special while ensuring that small-scale producers benefit from tourism. Even our houseboat designs demonstrate our allegiance to nature. We construct and preserve them with sustainable wood and natural materials. Combining conventional craftsmanship with green technologies, we craft a travel experience that respects culture and nature.
The Future of Responsible Backwater Tourism
Travel is meant to make beautiful memories; not harm the destination we travel to. Every guest who steps onto our Alleppey houseboat becomes a part of our vision for a greener future. Simple habits like switching off lights when not in use or conserving water do a lot for keeping these waters pristine for many years to come. Reusable bottles instead of plastic ones, proper waste disposal, and opting for eco-travel can have a significant impact. Nature rewards humankind when it is revered, with the beauty and constant serenity of its untouched wilderness. It is only together that we can keep Alleppey from being a paradise for future generations.
We welcome you to explore the backwaters of Kerala in a whole new fashion, a fashion that is equally passionate about comfort, beauty, and sustainability. When traveling with us for a holiday in our luxury houseboats, a guest shares in the responsibility of ensuring environmentally sensitive travel. Together let us travel, cherish, and conserve nature.
