Over time, luxury has been gradually developing in the tourism sector traditionally hand in hand with the hospitality industry. We have had this benchmark for decades with which we have traveled and the hotels where we stayed were one of the main identifying traits of our trips. Luxury were established by the name of the hotel, its historic building, the size of its suites measured in square meters, the Michelin stars of its restaurant, the design and decoration of its lobby or the quality of its spa treatments. All these elements in combination made our experience truly unique and special.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span>But something is changing. The economy of the world improves, countries that were formerly not issuing travelers now are, airlines are growing everywhere and the world seems increasingly closer and affordable for everyone. More planes, more people traveling, more hotels are been built and the debate is served. Overcrowding, environmental impact, loss of local culture and unsustainable growth seem to be the news that comes to us from many corners of the world. Consequently, we are increasingly becoming more and more aware of the impact we are leaving in the countries we visit and the luxury of travel is gradually been redefined. They no longer only help the large suites and the magnificent lobbies. Today we are looking for something further and the experience of luxury is evolving around three concepts: the sustainable, the remote and the experiential.\u00a0<\/em><\/span>This type of responsible and sustainable tourism has found a formula through tourism development projects framed in luxury and exclusivity where sustainability is been understood far beyond using solar panels, not washing towels daily or recycling waste.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>

The island of Wa Ale is located in the Myeik archipelago in southern Myanmar. After three flights from Spain, there are still two hours of boat to reach this private island of 3,600 hectares. For some years now Chris Kingsley had the vision to protect this small and remote piece of paradise through a tourism development project minimizing the impact on local ecosystem, generating a real economy for the population and functioning as an ecosystem protection from the land and sea island. Today local population of the island receives 20% of the benefits and 2% of the income per occupied room. In addition, it manages the project for the protection and conservation of the Green and Lute turtles working together with the local fishing community to protect these two endangered species. The project includes the protection of the coral reef by the anchors of local boats working together with the local fishing communities.<\/span><\/p>

The hotel<\/b> is the main source of income for the island and has 11 villas and 3 caba\u00f1as built with degradable and local materials combining wood and bamboo. This style have been inspired to the style of the houses of local villages.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
