Travel For Good Beckons works to enrich our team members, our local communities, and our guests, with purposeful growth, conscientious stewardship, and genuine and re-energising connection to unique landscapes, peoples, and cultures.
Sustainable Luxury at Longitude 131° Essential to a stay at Longitude 131° is a chance to connect with the country’s oldest living culture, the Aboriginal Anangu, whose history in the region dates some 60,000 years. Guests at Longitude 131° learn of the Aboriginal stories that relate to the land, and – as part of the lodge’s personally guided signature experiences - gain a deeper understanding of the Red Centre and its heritage. The discoveries that spring from hearing sacred legends, tasting new flavours and feeling the spirit of the land create the enduring memories of the timeless landscape. The broader Beckons’ commitment to sustainable luxury travel is best expressed by the lodges’ interactions with their natural environment, the local community and its culture. The protection and preservation of each lodge’s natural and cultural surroundings is a firm priority. The Beckons’ approach to sustainability is essential to lodge operations both to ensure the well-being of the destinations in which it operates and to enhance the guest experience. Natural Environment Dynamic environmental management plans for each property embrace advanced and emerging technology and work alongside local organisations including government agencies, national parks and conservation sanctuaries, ensuring all activities are in line with each region’s broader conservation goals. Local Community Active engagement with local communities includes establishing supportive supplier relationships with food and drink producers, local artists and designers as well as supporting local charities, education initiatives, community events and work experience programs. Culture & Heritage Beckons provides guests with a chance to connect with the destination’s culture and heritage in which each lodge is located. This encompasses all aspects of the lodge experience, from the design to food and drinks and signature guest tours. People Beckons’ own team of people is its greatest asset, and the company carries a ‘family’ style culture with a commitment to the long-term development, retention and wellbeing of every member of its team.
