clear searchIt is a culturally sensitive approach to travel, defined by a deep respect for the environment and the communities you encounter. You foster relationships that contribute positively to the socioeconomic fabric and environmental preservation of the places you visit. Your travel experiences are educational, teaching you about environmental sustainability, diverse local cultures, and empower both you and local communities to thrive together.
From educating you, the traveller, to supporting local and remote communities, funding environmental conservation, and providing income for millions globally, sustainable travel not only protects the people and finite resources of our planet, but also safeguards travel for future generations to come.
An easy win is to be more conscious of your waste: always use a refillable drinking bottle, bring your own shopping bags, and compost your food scraps. You could also choose to spend your money on travel operators and establishments with good sustainability track records or use more sustainable transport options like coach or train. Plus, you can have a look at the TreadRight Foundation checklist as a simple way to become a more responsible traveller.
When planning a holiday always look for travel operators who are actively addressing sustainability i.e. with climate action plans and sustainability strategies, and ensure investing in finding better, more sustainable solutions. Additionally, look out for companies that publicly and transparently report on the progress they’re making against their sustainability goals.
