Are you ready to capitalise on the sustainable tourism market the fastest growing travel sector worldwide?
Sustainable tourism benefits your guests, your community and the environment. More than 70% of western tourists expect the resorts they visit to PROTECT the local environment and support the local community.1 For over 15 years we have been successfully constructing artificial reefs worldwide to protect and restore damaged beaches and coral areas to provide a lasting recreational asset for swimming, snorkeling, diving and fishing. Sustainable Oceans International has created the TIDES program specifically to help you: Repair your damaged reefs Protect your existing reefs Build new reefs Create sustainable marine programs your guests will never forget
From this
To this.
Increase tourism revenue Support the local community and Give your guests an experience they will talk about and keep coming back for year after year
We work with you to custom design, build and manage marine experiences that are self-funding and enhance the underwater environment that your resort and local community depend upon. Turn the tide and turn tourism into a tool for reef preservation and your success!
