Out comes the sun cream, but are you keeping it green?

The unusually warm weather this month cannot help but bring thoughts of global warming to the fore. If you are looking for sustainable prize and incentive ideas, then look no further than Unmissable. From saving turtles in Costa Rica to organic food deliveries, we can put together eco and ethical prizes for all budgets. Don't forget if you're worried about your carbon footprint, we can arrange to offset emissions for any journeys involving a flight!

Zero Carbon Resort 

Unmissable will be offering the world's first 'zero-carbon' five-star resort due to open next year in Zanzibar, the 35 villas will be totally self-sufficient, using only energy from the sun and wind and producing little waste or carbon emissions. The 100 staff will be given bicycles, and electric cars will transport guests to and from the airport. Luxury has not been sacrificed and there will be a spa, swimming pool and a solar-powered restaurant, using food from its own farm. When guests use the machines in the gym, the energy they produce will feed back into the electricity supply!

Eco Chic 

Let Unmissable prove to you there is more to camping than roll mats and sleeping bags, at this new luxury "Eco" campsite in the south of France. There are 12 handcrafted yurts (your room) complete with fluffy towels, king-sized beds and hammocks in private relaxation areas. Despite the palatial trappings, they are totally eco-friendly. There is no electricity, the showers are rainwater supplied with solar heating and the place lit by candlelight. Set in an oak-forest nature reserve,  it overlooks the Ardeche River gorge, with paths to the river for hiking and swimming.

Case Study

Briefed to come up with a clean & green holiday for a client, Unmissable put together a cycling holiday to beautiful Norway. The setting was the narrow chain of Lofoten islands, which cram in more mountains per square mile than any other part of Norway. Jagged peaks sweep down to the sea leaving a narrow brim of coastal road with breathtaking views amid charming fishing villages, simply perfect for cycling. Not all time was spent in the saddle as our winners had time to enjoy other pursuits such as fishing, relaxing in a traditional Norwegian sauna & sampling the white sandy beaches. They also got to stay in a traditional fisherman's cabin (fully renovated of course!) & indulge in some delicious local seafood. Cycling is the perfect way to experience this country - much better than a gas guzzling hire car & our winners certainly found the whole trip a breath of fresh air!
