Sustainable Kitesurfing in Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka: Preserving Nature and Community
Tourism in Sri Lanka, particularly in Kalpitiya, faces challenges in being entirely green and socially responsible due to the potential negative impact each traveler may have on the environment. This is where sustainable initiatives like kitesurfing in Kalpitiya play a crucial role in preserving the natural, cultural, and social landscapes.
Our mission is to prioritize the development of the local economy and inclusivity in Kalpitiya. We achieve this by hiring and involving over 99% of area stakeholders in our business operations. Our strategy focuses on providing year-round income for team members and carefully selecting sustainable services using local resources. We aim to promote partnership-based tourism and support the Kalpitiya economy by avoiding non-regional foods (km0), gradually phasing out chicken from our offerings, and prioritizing soya products over meat.
To protect the natural beauty of our lagoon-front location, we have rejected traditional GRID electricity, opting for solar-powered lights to minimize diesel generator consumption. Our eco-friendly tourism efforts in Kalpitiya, renowned for its thrilling kitesurfing experiences, are in line with our commitment to preserving the environment and supporting the local community.
