This journey enabled us to earn Travelife Partner certification in the summer of 2023, an international recognition that confirms our commitment to continuous improvement.
In addition to the projects carried out by the Collection’s partners, Ecoluxury personally oversees projects for the redevelopment and conservation of artistic and cultural heritage.
Enrico Ducrot was born in Rome in 1965 into a family of passionate and experienced travelers who instilled in him a desire to explore and discover the world.
By the age of fifteen, Enrico had already explored the East, Central Asia, Afghanistan, Kashmir, and Ladakh. In the years that followed, he traveled throughout the Middle East by car, motorcycle, and bicycle. While pursuing his degree in Archaeology and Art History of the Near East at the University of Rome, Enrico Ducrot traveled several times to Ebla, Syria, and Jordan to conduct excavations, and in 1990 he also spent an extended period of study in Istanbul.
Since 1991, Enrico has worked for the family-owned tour operator Viaggi dell’Elefante as a “destination discoverer” and creator of travel itineraries in the Middle East, Central Asia, the Far East, and South America.
In 2001, Enrico helped set up a campground in a park in Baja California, for which he received the Environmental Recognition Award at the World Travel Market 2003.
In 2005, he launched the Ecoluxury project as an alternative to mass tourism products based on outdated models that have a significant impact on society and the environment.
