PHUKET RESORT INDIGO PEARL LAUNCHES ECO-WEEKEND PACKAGES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 16, 2010 -- Award-winning 5-star Phuket resort Indigo Pearl has launched its first ‘eco-tour’ package, inviting guests to ‘give back to the community’ during their next vacation.

Taking place from 24-26th September, the inaugural weekend coincides with the “World Coastal Clean Up” day, taking place in Phuket for the first time at Nai Yang beach on September 25.

As well as beach cleaning, guests will join an eco-tour of nearby mangrove forests by kayak and visit a hydroponic farm, rubber and palm plantation and mushroom farm. An afternoon will also be spent visiting a local Thai community to learn about their sustainable livelihoods.

The eco-adventure is priced at THB 21,900 with accommodation in a signature Pearl Bed Suite with complimentary extras including a la carte dinner for two with cocktails at any one of two restaurants at Indigo Pearl, one-hour foot massage for two at IN-DI-GO Spa and a 50% discount on an in-room spa milky bath as well as the Eco Tour.

It is a unique opportunity for holiday makers to support a good cause and learn about Thailand's environment and how the community manages and conserves their environment to improve the well-being of local people.

Following the launch of the eco-package for ‘World Coastal Clean’ participation, the promotion will extend to October 31 for stays of at least three nights.

The initiative is being launched in partnership with the international Sustainable Smiles (www.sustainablesmiles.org) movement which promotes environmental, social and economic sustainability among local communities.

Upgrades to higher room categories are available at THB 2,000 for a private pool pavilion and THB 12,000 for a luxury suite.

The acclaimed 5-star retreat’s ‘green’ commitment extends to environmental education for local schools and community clean-up programmes to help improve the environment at nearby Nai Yang Beach and the surrounding area.

An educational programme for local villagers and shopkeepers on Nai Yang Beach Road is also being established.

Complemented by luxurious style, Indigo Pearl resort is a fusion of modern architecture and Thai tin-mining heritage next to Nai Yang Beach, just 10 minutes from Phuket International Airport.

It uniquely evokes Phuket’s tin mining industry, incorporating unique furnishings and art pieces inspired by industrial relics.
