Green Apple goes beyond tourism to create authentic experiences. Its emphasis is on the sustainable and the local.
Green Apple is at the vanguard of a new movement that believes in conservation of nature, preservation of culture and heritage, and propagation of interaction between guests and locals. It is our small contribution to making the world, a truly global village, where people understand and respect each other's identities. This is only possible by offering our knowledgeable tourists an opportunity to participate in local life, by living in its heart. Guests participate in activities and learning experiences, interacting with and availing of the services of the local community, attending cultural events - living the life, as it were.
Not only do we prepare our locals to play a key role in this exchange, we also empower them with a sense of pride in their culture and abilities.
Green Apple prefers to convert, refurbish or throw open private residences, especially those with heritage credentials, rather than engage in the construction of new properties. This helps to conserve materials, eliminate construction related pollution, and at the same time showcase an exciting and deserving property. Not only is the experience more authentic, it is more responsible.
The company further extends this philosophy of responsible tourism to its day-to-day activities. Every function at our properties is streamlined to ensure that there is no wastage of natural resources. We adhere to strict purchasing policies; preferring to buy local and organic as far as possible.
Green Apple encourages both guests and hosts to go back to the roots, to an often-forgotten way of life, by participating in and learning new techniques in farming and cooking. Cultural and art performances form a big part of the experience.
Quite simply, Green Apple works to create a memorable stay as well as uphold a cherished legacy. With a low impact on the environment, and maximum impact on the mind.
Vision
Green Apple Vision is to deliver memorable experiences that revitalize the senses,
tap the intellect and generates better understanding of the importance of protecting and sharing our natural & cultural heritage.
With a vision to show case South India, yet retain, respect and conserve the locations' socio-cultural balance. We step away
from the
routes of better - established sights in South India, opting out of the large hotel chains,
promoting instead, a network of independent
bungalows, plantation villas and farm houses
across Kerala and Tamilnadu. It is about
responsible tourism that gets you into private
homes and properties, opportunities for home
cooked cuisine and fascinating time with hosts.
