Chaa Creek Sustainability Practices
Sustainable tourism must be firmly rooted within the local community and must provide true and lasting benefit to all. This is the fundamental philosophy behind Chaa Creeks commitment to community development and sustainable tourism since its inception as Belize’s first jungle lodge in 1981. We recognize full well that it is the local hard working Belizeans who breathe the life into our tourism product and form the heart of the Chaa Creek experience.
Chaa Creek's Share a Pound Program encourages guests to share one pound of their luggage space for materials to be donated to a local school or animal care supplies to be donated to the Humane Society. Guests can also financially sponsor school books for a school child.
