Sustainable Tourism
So what does sustainable tourism actually mean? Is it even possible?
Sustainable tourism takes full account of the economic, social and environmental impact of tourism, both now and into the future. It addresses and balances the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities.
Responsible travel is the act of travelling responsibly to minimise the negative impact that travel has on the environment. This includes taking care not to harm or change the destination’s cultural and natural environments, so that they can be maintained long-term.
“Consider this – many of the most fun and rewarding travel experiences can also be planet-positive. Think camping, hiking, food tours with locals or indigenous guides, hanging out at cafes and spending money in communities, visiting artists, taking long train journeys, or helping scientists do research as part of a visit to the Great Barrier Reef.”
Being a responsible traveller helps us to continue exploring and taking enjoyment from the planet while preserving its untouched beauty, healthy ecosystems and diverse communities. And yes, we think it is possible.
