Spa Promotion from Elite Island Resorts
With Earth Day just around the corner, Elite Island Resorts has announced that it will make a donation each time a body or facial spa treatment is purchased at select resorts during April 2009.
When guests purchase a relaxing treatment at Galley Bay Resort & Spa, The Verandah Resort & Spa and St. James’s Club & Villas (all on Antigua); and Palm Island (The Grenadines), five dollars per treatment will be donated to Sustainable Travel International (STI), a global organization devoted to sustainable solutions and promoting responsible travel and ecotourism.
Elite Island Resort Caribbean properties’ daily operations are geared toward ecological preservation. Steps include grey water provides irrigation; organic waste is utilized by local farmers; and a reduction of non-biodegradable products are employed.
Foods and products from endangered species are banned and produce and other sustainable products are purchased locally whenever possible. Examples include employment of a 95+ percent local workforce and support of cultural events, charities, scholarships, and at Galley Bay, a dedicated bird sanctuary.
