Setting the bar for environmental
and economic sustainability.
The Lodge at Gulf State Park is the epitome of sustainable tourism. Sustainable tourism is the practice of comprehensively incorporating sustainable practices into the overall guest experience. It provides increased benefits to both the host community and the tourist/visitor by enhancing the positive experience of the mainstream traveler in an environmentally sensitive manner that also protects the destination. The property operates with a focused commitment to the sustainability and preservation of the Alabama coastline, environment, wildlife and fauna of the Gulf State Park and the region. With Valor’s help, the Lodge honors all three pillars of sustainable tourism:
1. Environmentally friendly operations and facilities
2. Support for the protection of cultural and natural heritage
3. Direct and tangible social and economic benefits to local people
