Sustainable Travel

Sustainable travel not only benefits the local environment, the local people and the wildlife you might travel to see, but in turn benefits you, the tourist. Without consideration many of our current holiday destinations, for example the Maldives, may not exist in 20 years time. If we focus on working together to travel sustainably we can improve travel for the future. For example, communities in Africa can employ locals to work on conservation efforts against poaching, they would help drive tourism and also prevent the extinction of some animals.

From the very offset of your holiday you can be more environmentally friendly:
Packing – by packing lighter this lessens the fuel burnt by the plane taking you to your destination.
Turn the tap off – doing this when brushing teeth and shaving will save water.
Switch the lights and air-conditioning off – when you leave a room this will save energy.
​
It might seem like a tiny step, but collectively it adds up to make the difference if everyone takes this conscious decision!
