| Sardinia is a short haul holiday destination that can be reached by a 2 hour flight, or ferry and car or train. It is not a mass market destination and it is a relatively unspoilt island with little or no ‘high rise’ building and very strict building regulations to prevent spoiling this beautiful island. |
RESPONSIBLE TOURISM
 Just Sardinia are committed to promoting Responsible Tourism through good practice and awareness and as members of AITO we follow their objectives to protect the environment, respect local culture, benefit the local community, conserve natural resources and to minimise pollution and congestion. Through hard work and perseverance, Just Sardinia are very proud to have been awarded the AITO 4 Star RT Award, because of our commitment to the environment and with special commendation for initiating the ‘Just Sardinia Green Award’ to help encourage our suppliers to get involved. |
FOR OUR PART…
 In Sardinia: We work with local suppliers operating not only in the more popular coastal resorts but also less frequented rural locations (rural sardinia). |
Our clients are provided with a small guidebook, which includes useful Italian phrases and local restaurants, shops etc offering local produce in order to promote informed tourism and support the local economy. Where possible we employ local representatives chosen for their wealth of knowledge, expertise and love of the island who in turn recommend local excursions thus generating employment.
In the UK: We abide by office etiquette including recycling, reducing paper usage, conserving energy, lift sharing and cycling. In fact Managing Director, Huw Nurse, ‘Cycled to Sardinia’ in 2007 and back again in 2008 as an attempt to reduce his carbon footprint as well as raising money for a local charity - visit www.cycletosardinia.com. |

| THE JUST SARDINIA GREEN AWARD |
 Just Sardinia have devised a green tree rating awarded to our accommodation suppliers in order to promote and encourage responsible tourism. |
The ‘Green Sardinia’ scheme was new in 2008 and we do not expect all our properties initially to be able to achieve an award however, it is our intention to encourage compliance wherever possible, taking into account the following criteria:
• Use of electricity
• Water recycling
• Rubbish recycling
• Planting of new shrubs and trees
• Use of environmentally safe chemicals
• Linen and towel change policies
• Air conditioning
• Use of local produce
• Recycling of paper and other consumables
• Transport |
 |
