Tree planted in your honor: Treetops, Rotorua, New Zealand

A destination can leave a lasting impression on travelers, but how often do travelers get to leave a lasting impression on a destination? At New Zealand's Treetops Luxury Lodge, each guest is invited to plant a tree with the staff. As owner of that tree, guests are encouraged to name it and revel in the fact that they own a bit of New Zealand's lush, green landscape. Since the program's inception in 2001, about 4,000 native trees have been planted throughout the property, says Treetops Manager Heiko Kaiser. The trees cover land that was logged in the 1800s.
