Sustainable Tourism
It’s important to us that the tourism industry in our area is sustainable long term, so that the local community and visitors alike can continue to enjoy it for generations to come. That’s why sustainable tourism is at the forefront of everything we do.
This includes putting a percentage of our booking fees towards local community projects, protecting the natural environment of Marros Mountain, and encouraging our visitors to help in any way they can.
As a visitor, how can I contribute?
Whether that’s at Marros Mountain or anywhere else you visit whilst with us, the people who visit after you should never be able to tell you’ve been there

3. Walk, cycle, or use public transport
Cars and other traffic can have a big impact on the area in several ways, including air pollution, noise pollution, overloading car parks, and increased risk to pedestrians. Walking, cycling, or using public transport to get around makes the area more enjoyable and safer for everyone
4. Don’t take unnecessary risks
This may sound like an obvious one, but you’d be surprised! Always try and be as safe as possible, whether that’s researching tide times before visiting the beach (as there are several that can cut you off at high-tide), making sure you swim where you can be seen from the shore, or sticking to the path whilst exploring the coast. This means that local emergency/health services which are already stretched can continue to make sure they can deal with unavoidable emergencies
5. Stay with us!
As we said above, we try to contribute to
