Rispettu… Chì vole dì? Kesako?
Rispettu literally means respect, so it’s only natural that this word should be used to designate this project, which is part of an eco-tourism and sustainable tourism approach. Because Corsica is a wild land to be preserved, let’s work together to reduce our impact on the environment!
Corsican accommodation professionals make a commitment…
For the past 10 years, some thirty Corsican hoteliers, their partners, suppliers… and elected representatives have been working together to offer you a quality service that reflects their identity and, above all, respects the environment.
Corsica has 300,000 inhabitants and 3,000,000 visitors a year, so it’s easy to imagine what the consumption of energy, water and foodstuffs and the production of waste can represent.
With this in mind, the accommodation providers and their partners have worked together to offer their visitors a holiday that reflects their identity and respects the beauty of Corsica, giving them the pleasure of returning to an island that is as beautiful and protected as ever.
However, it’s a mission that requires regular personal investment, which is why the Rispettu association and its members are taking part in the Sustainable Tourism Innovathon, during which they are brainstorming on other projects and measures to promote sustainable tourism in addition to those already in existence. We even take on challenges… environmental protection is sport!
By joining this project, which promotes a sustainable hotel industry with a strong sense of identity, partners undertake to measure the impact of their activity on the environment, to respect the RISPETTU charter, to regularly train all their staff in sustainable development, to give priority to responsible purchasing with a strong sense of identity… in short, to actively participate in the implementation of a “greener stay”.
You, our guests, will benefit from this long-term effort, right from breakfast, with a selection of Corsican products which, in fact, favor short circuits.
Join us in protecting Corsica!
This initiative in favor of more sustainable and responsible tourism has found a favorable echo with you, dear visitors, since the satisfaction and positive feedback rate is close to 80%!
But you too can take part in this project by signing up to the Responsible Traveler Charter and its 10 commandments:
– I use heating and air conditioning comfortably and reasonably: 22 degrees in winter, 25 degrees in summer.
– I turn off the heating and air conditioning when I open the windows. I unplug my phone and computer chargers when they are charged.
– I use curtains to protect my room from the sun in summer and let the sun in during winter.
– I’m careful with water when I brush my teeth or shave.
– My sheets and towels are changed at my request.
– I don’t smoke in my room to avoid using toxic products to remove cigarette odors.
– I sort my garbage in the garbage cans provided.
– I use a water bottle to limit the use of plastic bottles.
– I serve myself as many times as I like, but in small quantities to make sure I don’t waste anything.
We can’t do anything without you, so let’s work together for greener tourism!
