The Canary Green responsible travel guarantee
For Discover by Canary Green, we have selected accommodations, activities, and restaurants which are unique and inspiring in very different ways. They all have one thing in common – they try to make a contribution to responsible tourism – through innovative architecture, regional organic food, health-oriented wellbeing programs, high environmental standards, and social commitment.
This way, they have an important impact on the environment and on the people in their respective regions. Further, this allows them to provide an authentic and lasting experience for the guests. Every sustainable initiative has set a different focus on their respective commitment.

The Discover by Canary Green selection process is designed to inspire responsible initiatives to work towards even higher sustainability.
