CONSCIENCE-FREE VACATION PACKAGES FOR THE ECO-FRIENDLY TRAVELLER

HOPE, BRITISH COLUMBIA, May 14, 2008 – Awareness of our fragile planet has never been higher, nor has the urge to try and decrease our impact on the environment. From recycling and eating organic to hybrid cars and solar power, sustainability is on a lot of our minds.

Nestled in the forest along the Coquihalla River near Hope, British Columbia, At Kw’o:kw’e:hala Eco Retreat has been drawing eco-conscious visitors for years with its steadfast commitment to the environment, unique accommodation offering, gourmet organic cuisine, and wealth of healthy activities.
