In a recent development, a Danish couple known for their popular eco-retreat in Sweden has made headlines for fleeing tax authorities and leaving behind environmental and financial chaos. The couple, who ran the ‘eco-conscious’ resort Stedsans, were tracked down in Guatemala after abandoning their property, which was found with 158 barrels of human waste and signs of wastewater being released into the surrounding forest area. The pair cited excessive taxes and bureaucratic hurdles as reasons for their sudden departure, claiming that it had become unfeasible to continue their mission. The resort, once praised for its sustainable practices, is now facing bankruptcy and substantial debts. This shocking turn of events has raised concerns about the impact of irresponsible eco-tourism practices on both the environment and the local economy.
