Nature Background
Our Strategies / Our Commitment to Environment

Preserving the Nature

Nature is not just the backdrop of our destinations, it is their greatest value. We develop tourism areas with a deep respect for natural landscapes, ecosystems, and biodiversity, ensuring they are protected as we grow. Through thoughtful planning and responsible practices, we create destinations where nature, people, and long-term prosperity can thrive together.

In 2018-2019, we achieved a significant milestone by implementing initiatives that reduced carbon emissions by 15%. This effort not only contributed to a healthier environment but also set a precedent for future sustainability projects.

Decarbonization Roadmap

ITDC is advancing its sustainability agenda through a Decarbonization Roadmap that guides the development of a low-carbon tourism ecosystem. The roadmap aligns operational excellence with climate responsibility, ensuring that environmental considerations are embedded across planning, development, and area management.

Through energy efficiency measures, renewable energy adoption, optimized infrastructure systems, and proactive emissions management, ITDC is reducing its carbon footprint while supporting resilient and future-ready destinations.

This roadmap reflects ITDC's long-term commitment to building a more responsible and resilient tourism ecosystem.

Our Environmental Focus

Our environmental priorities reflect the key environmental challenges and opportunities across our destinations. By focusing on these areas, we ensure that environmental protection goes hand in hand with operational excellence and long-term destination resilience.

Our Environmental Targets

We set measurable goals to ensure continuous progress toward sustainability. These targets reflect our commitment to reducing emissions, improving resource efficiency, and enhancing environmental stewardship across all destinations we manage.

Our Environmental Initiatives

We translate our commitments into real actions through various environmental programs implemented across destinations. Our initiatives focus on renewable energy adoption, waste reduction, mangrove restoration, and eco-conscious infrastructure development.

Mangrove Rehabilitation Program

Restoring coastal ecosystems plays a crucial role in enhancing climate resilience. By revitalizing mangroves, salt marshes, and coral reefs, we can create natural barriers against rising sea levels and extreme weather.

Mangrove Rehabilitation

Green Energy Transition

Implementing solar power and energy-efficient systems in sustainable tourism facilities, reducing dependence on fossil fuels while optimizing operational performance across our destinations.

Green Energy Transition

Clean Destination Movement

Reducing single-use plastics and promoting circular waste segregation among local communities through education, infrastructure, and community-led environmental programs.
