responsible destinations

We know that it’s not just hotels and accommodations that have an impact when we travel: we care about the sustainability of destinations we visit too. We also know that where we go, how we spend our money, and what we choose to do while we’re away can add up to make a huge difference.

That is why we have teamed up with partners like Green Destinations that have successfully assessed destinations on their sustainability performance. Our goal is to inspire you with the most sustainable destinations to visit from around the world, assessed according to a number of industry-recognized criteria. What’s more, we’re bringing you ideas for sustainable travel within a destination too, from organic and zero-waste restaurants, to tours and activities that give back. We’re partnering with inspiring social enterprises, NGO’s and community tourism initiatives to help ensure your travel is for good.

 

For the best responsible travel ideas we have put together a listing with remarkable sustainable places to visit! Did you know that the destinations with we work are passionate about giving you the experiences of a lifetime in which all stakeholders benefit from your travel.
