Alternative eco-friendly options for Middle Eastern travellers to the UK this summer.

The UK's EcoEscape group offers travelers flexible tours doing a variety of activities, in a host of different locations, for varied budget levels.

From kayaking off the Welsh coast and whale watching in northern Scotland to cycling tours behind Loch Ness, Gulf residents are set to experience a whole new world of adventure in two UK countries most feel they already know quite well, according to Carol Maddison, VisitBritain's Marketing Manager, UAE.

"Gulf residents love Britain for its culture, sport, food, entertainment, and shopping but soon they will come to love it equally for its alternative, eco-friendly activity options."

says Maddison.

The eco experiences are meant to allow holidaymakers an opportunity to do what they love but also eat good food and stay in accommodation which ranges from cosy cabins to luxury, locally owned B&Bs.
