Partner with ARCHELON
Sustainable tourism is a way of traveling that respects the environment, local cultures, and communities, minimizing negative impacts while maximizing positive outcomes. It supports environmentally friendly practices, strengthens the local economy, and promotes understanding of different cultures, so that travel benefits both the destination and the traveler, today and in the future.
In coastal areas, hotels and local businesses play a crucial role in reducing waste, limiting the use of plastics, supporting marine conservation efforts, and educating visitors about local ecosystems, thereby helping to preserve these sensitive areas for generations to come.
Tourism and nature are often seen as being in conflict, especially in popular destinations where beaches serve as critical nesting areas for endangered species. However, the sustainable tourism approach represents the most serious opportunity for the two worlds to coexist and support each other. This challenge of sustainability lies at the heart of ARCHELON’s new initiative, which targets coastal hotels and businesses, seeking supporters to support our conservation efforts through donations.
Support Levels
Our Friends
Our friends in the tourism sector actively support ARCHELON’s work through small donations and adoptions, receiving a certificate of appreciation. At the same time, they adopt environmentally friendly practices and help protect sea turtles by following the necessary measures in nesting areas, contributing to the preservation of their natural habitats.
Our Advocates
Hotels that actively support our initiatives through larger donations play a crucial role in protecting nesting areas. By staying informed about best practices for beach management and supporting public awareness activities on their premises, they help ensure that tourism becomes an ally of nature. In addition, they follow the progress of our projects and receive a certificate of appreciation for their contribution.
Our Allies
Our Allies provide long-term support for our initiatives through regular donations, actively participating in the design and implementation of sustainable tourism models and conservation projects. On Romanos Beach, in western Peloponnese, about 50 km west of Kalamata, we have been systematically monitoring reproductive activity since 2010 in collaboration with COSTA NAVARINO, protecting nests from predators and flooding, while also implementing environmentally friendly practices. Our Allies have the opportunity to stay informed about the outcomes of these projects and receive a certificate of appreciation.
