MPT's Responsible Tourism platform for Madhya Pradesh — protecting coast, ghats and forests while the state stays open to travellers.
Through Rethink Tourism, the Madhya Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation works to keep travel light on the land — conserving water, cutting plastic on the Narmada valley, powering resorts with solar, protecting tiger habitat, and putting resort earnings back into the villages that host us.
Rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling and low-flow fixtures across MPT resorts in the Satpura hills and the drought-prone Marathwada belt.
Single-use plastics phased out at Hanuwantiya, Maheshwar, Bhedaghat and Omkareshwar, with beach clean-ups run alongside local gram panchayats.
Rooftop solar, solar water heating and LED retrofits rolling out across MPT properties, cutting diesel dependence at remote forest lodges.
MPT's Responsible Tourism initiative — Responsible Traveller pledges, local guide training and community-run homestay linkages across Madhya Pradesh.
Responsible tourism programmes running across our 65 hotels and resorts
MPT resorts are moving to energy-efficient HVAC, LED lighting, sewage treatment and native landscaping at every site.
Local employment, Malwa and Varhadi home-kitchen partnerships, and women-led self-help groups supplying resort kitchens and craft counters.
Working with forest departments around Bandhavgarh, Pench (Mukki), Panna and the Narmada Valley mangroves to protect habitat and fund anti-poaching patrols.
Regulated safari numbers, electric buggies and quiet-hour rules at MPT jungle lodges keep tiger reserves undisturbed.
Resorts at Khajuraho, Orchha and Bhimbetka are designed to respect protected zones, using local stone, low silhouettes and dark-sky lighting.
Portion-planned buffets, composting and farm tie-ups have cut kitchen waste sharply across participating MPT resorts.
