Small Luxury Hotels of the World recognizes that the pursuit of excellence need not be at the expense of the environment or the community in which a hotel operates. Through its 'Caring Luxury' initiative, Small Luxury Hotels of the World encourages its hotels to adopt responsible environmental, economic and social practices, which at the same time provide enriching and rewarding experiences for hotel guests. It is the first group of small, independent, luxury hotels to adopt such an initiative and it comes at a time when an increasing number of global travellers are concerned about the impact that tourism is having on the environments, economies and communities in which it functions. Particular concerns include environmental damage and destruction, social and cultural degradation and economic hardships on local communities. However, by practicing “Caring Luxury”, Small Luxury Hotels of the World properties can help maximize the positive effects of tourism, such as creating jobs and benefiting small businesses, enhancing guests’ awareness of local culture and traditions and identifying ways to conserve and protect areas.

All in all, Caring Luxury is about making better places to live and visit, while at the same time providing enriching and rewarding experiences for guests who stay at Small Luxury Hotels of the World properties.
