The Lux Collective, a luxury hospitality group in Mauritius, has forged a partnership with NGO Eco-Sud to establish an all-encompassing conservation plan dedicated to marine biodiversity.

Through this initiative, The Lux Collective aims to promote sustainable practices and raise awareness about the significance of oceans. This collaboration also presents a compelling opportunity for travel agents to offer their clients unique and meaningful experiences.

Aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #14, The Lux Collective's partnership with Eco-Sud will involve the development of turtle-friendly habitats across its six exquisite hotels in Mauritius. These include LUX\ *Grand Baie; LUX* Belle Mare; LUX\ *Le Morne; LUX* Grand Gaube; Tamassa Bel Ombre; and SALT of Palmar.

One captivating aspect of this collaboration is the engagement of children in marine conservation activities. The Lux Collective will organise interactive workshops, creating immersive experiences that foster a sense of ownership and responsibility towards the environment. This provides a unique opportunity for families to participate in meaningful eco-friendly initiatives, giving young travellers an invaluable educational experience. Travel agents can highlight these programmes to families looking to combine luxury travel with sustainability and inspire a love for marine conservation in the next generation.

The partnership also emphasises the involvement of local communities. Fishing communities in the regions surrounding The Lux Collective's hotels will receive training in ethical fishing practices, enabling them to be integrated into the group's sustainable supply chains. By supporting these communities, travellers can contribute to the well-being of local economies while enjoying unforgettable and authentic experiences.
