True ecotourism and sustainability are more than buzz words and Life Hacker explores the different aspects of what it takes to operate an environmentally-friendly luxury experience, the impacts of Covid-19 and the importance of being ECO certified. Standing out like a green thumb is Wild Bush Luxury, which encompasses Luxury Lodges of Australia’s Bamurru Plains and Arkaba Homestead. Their mission is clear; to conserve the environment that sustains them, and this philosophy guides everything that they do, understanding that true sustainability is more than recycling plastic, but a complete revolution in every aspect of the business practices.

“… Wild Bush Luxury operates a number of environmentally-friendly luxury resorts in Australia, but servicing these resorts in a sustainable way requires every aspect to be considered. They use things like solar power, recyclable water bottles, and campfires or lanterns as a source of light rather than running electricity.” – Lauren Rouse, Life Hacker. 

“We ignore the environment at our peril,” Charlie Carlow, CEO of Wild Bush Luxury told Lifehacker, “Without the environmental focus we have no business. So every facet of our tourism business has to have that in mind.”
