Sustainable travel is important. Going on a holiday is a time to relax, meet new cultures and to explore new places. Leaving your destination with a positive contribution in regards to the environment, local communities and nature and culture is not only a great step in making our world a little bit more beautiful, you’ll feel fulfilled as well. Sustainable travel keeps this in mind and due to a growing demand these types of holidays are becoming an increasingly important part of the whole travel industry. Each year more and more travel agents specialize in sustainable tours and trips. For example, there are local travel agents that adopt rescued animals thanks to your bookings while other agencies donate part of their income to non-profits that protect endangered animals. As a traveller, you can also take a few steps to contribute to a better world without giving up travelling altogether. Think about your accommodation or the activities you’ll do at your destination.

More about Sustainable Travel

Eco-friendly travel

Eco-friendly travel is to travel consciously by making choices that are environmentally friendly from your home all the way to your travel destination. When you make these choices, you take into account the effects your behavior can have on the local environment. There are many decisions you can make when it comes to this. For example, think about leaving the plane behind (although for distant travels this is almost impossible). Or travel by car, train or bike. You could also opt for a holiday closer to home, which would also reduce your travel time. Another option is to stay in fewer places longer.

Supporting local communities

Sustainable travel is not just about nature. It is also very important to support local communities wherever you might go for your holiday. By choosing accommodation such as locally run homestays, guesthouses, bed & breakfasts, or small hotels. By selecting local places your money will go to people who live in the area. The same goes for eating out in local restaurants and family run businesses. These small choices can have a big impact on the local communities you’ll visit. Lastly, definitely do some research on the activities that are available at your destination and this way you can select fun and sustainable things to do that also support the local people.

Respect local cultures and traditions

Respect for the local culture and traditions is an important part of sustainable travel. It’s worth it to read up on the ways of life of the country you are visiting. There are many travel guides available to educate you on the specifics of a local culture. As a visitor it can be confronting to see contradictions with your own country. Sometimes you’ll find yourself in circumstances that are different. When this does happen, it is important not to see everything from your own point of view. Tune into the fact that people have different ways of life and what is normal for one is not for the other.
