EcoTrotters.com is an online eco travel community born in late 2007 with one goal in mind: to help travelers make more informed decisions when booking an ecohotel. We hope to provide travelers with reliable eco hotel recommendations written by other site users and ecotravelers interested in merging ecology and travel. Our aim is to create a trustworthy ecotourism rating system, based on a list of eco guidelines for hotels. In order for a hotel to be listed as an eco hotel on the website, it must comply with a certain number of eco guidelines.

Generally speaking, EcoTrotters defines ecohotels as those which: minimize the hotel’s environmental impact, fund environmental conservation activities, encourage free trade in the local community, respect human rights, and promote knowledge and understanding of sustainability and ecological practices both to the hotel staff and hotel guests.

The EcoTrotters community is the ideal gateway for travelers who want to share ideas, suggestions, and tips for a great eco experience. It prides itself in providing eco travelers a place where they may grow and learn new ways to combine ecology and travel.
