This week on the Wanderful Blog, I’ve shared my travel experiences both as a guest and a worker at all-inclusive resorts. Spoiler alert: Many of these accommodations often disrupt natural ecosystems and negatively impact the surrounding community.

Ethical Concerns for All-Inclusive Resorts (& What Happened When I Stayed at One)
As travelers, it’s important that we understand the impact of our vacations and adventures. This was one of my motivations in offering my home as an Airbnb host in the Outer Banks. I wanted to offer vacationers an eco-friendly alternative that benefits the local community. My Airbnb staff and I are not investors who live out of town. We are the residents who work in the local service industry and contribute to the community and your experience. I’m a local yoga teacher, my co-host is a local nurse and our cleaners are retired life-long residents. When you visit OBX, you get a small town feel. Supporting small town businesses is what will preserve the uniqueness of our community.
Likewise, I’m committed to reducing consumption of single-use plastic and harsh chemicals that wreak havoc on our beaches and oceans. My mission is to run an eco-conscious vacation home that inspires my guests. Here’s my eco-friendly guide for Airbnb hosts and guests.
Thank you to my Airbnb guests who have chosen my eco-friendly vacation rental and offered positive feedback and encouragement.
Consider my coaching sessions, if you would like to make small habit changes to create an eco-friendly, holistic household, which in turn will improve your physical, financial, social, mental and emotional well-being.
