Eco-friendly travel, also known as sustainable travel or responsible travel, is a way of travelling that minimizes negative impact on the environment, culture and economy of the destination.

Eco-friendly travel is important to reduce the negative impact of tourism on the environment and local communities. By travelling sustainably, we can preserve natural resources, support local businesses and culture, and promote conservation efforts.

• Choose eco-friendly accommodations such as eco-lodges, hotels with green certifications, or home-sharing options.
• Use public transportation, walk or bike instead of renting a car or taking taxis.
• Reduce waste by bringing reusable water bottles, bags, and utensils.
• Support local businesses and communities by buying locally-made souvenirs, eating at locally-owned restaurants and participating in locally-run activities.
• Respect the environment and culture of the destination by following local customs, staying on designated trails, and avoiding activities that harm wildlife or ecosystems.

One way to offset your carbon footprint from travel is to purchase carbon offsets from a reputable organization. These offsets support projects such as renewable energy or reforestation that reduce carbon emissions and benefit the environment.

• Hiking or camping in a national park or protected area
• Volunteering for a conservation or community project
• Taking a wildlife or nature tour with a responsible operator
• Learning about local culture and history through museums or cultural activities
• Supporting sustainable food systems by visiting farmers markets or taking a cooking class with locally-sourced ingredients
