GreenDex GOING GREEN

As Kermit the Frog asserts, it’s not easy being green, but in tourism these days everyone wants to be ‘eco’. But how can you know which businesses are legitimately ecofriendly and which are just jumping on the sustainable bandwagon?

The following listings have been selected by Lonely Planet authors because they demonstrate active sustainable-tourism policies. Some are involved in conservation or environmental education; many are owned and operated by local and indigenous operators, thus preserving local identity and culture. Some are also accredited by Qualmark Green (www.qualmark.co.nz) or listed by Organic Explorer (www.organicexplorer.co.nz).

All national parks and reserves (see the main index) and DOC–controlled areas (marked on maps) preserve native bush and fauna, and are by their very nature ‘green’.
