It’s time to look at the way we travel and explore the world and take vacations in a more sustainable, eco-friendly way. The way we’ve been traveling is not good for the environment and we’re not saying you shouldn’t travel, but there are ways to be a better tourist and plan a planet-friendly vacation. Here are five ways to do so.

Bring Reusable Containers

Instead of bringing bottles for your beauty supplies, fill reusable containers with shampoos, conditioners, and moisturizers to prevent the use of single-use plastics.

Choose Trains and Buses Over Flying

Rather than flying, if you’re traveling domestically, opt for trains and buses over planes. They’ll add adventure and excitement to your travels.

Eat Local and Seasonal

Eat local produce that’s in season to support a more sustainable food industry as well as small businesses. Check out farmers’ markets, farm-to-restaurants, farm cafes, and wineries.

Support Local Businesses

Shop at local markets, eat at family-run restaurants, and stay at guesthouses while traveling to support local businesses. Also, buy souvenirs from artisan markets to support local artists.

Take Walks and Cycle

Explore cities with walking tours and sightsee on bikes. You’ll be getting great exercise while reducing carbon emissions.

Trains are slowly becoming one of the most popular means of transportation because they can be pretty fast and cheap in parts of the world with a well-developed railway system. Here’s a couple of amazing benefits they bring along.

Extra Comfort

The train will provide you with more legroom than a plane or a bus, and many of them come with sleeper cabins. You can also move freely and stretch your legs whenever you want to without bothering anyone.

Affordable Option

Taking a train is one of the most affordable ways of traveling, no matter when or where you’re thinking of going. You can also travel with as much luggage you want to without paying expansive baggage fees.

Stunning Scenery

You can enjoy beautiful views during your train ride, and get a better sense of a country you’re traveling through while looking out the window.

Good Connection

Unlike airports, train stations are often located in the very heart of the city, and you won’t have a hard time getting to the city center once you reach your final destination.

Eco-Friendly

If you’re trying to reduce your carbon footprint, trains are a way to go since they’re generally seen as one of the most environment-friendly means of transportation.

What is Sustainable Tourism? https://travelermaster.com/what-is-sustainable-tourism/ Fri, 11 Jan 2019 06:10:51 +0000 https://stagingtrm.wpengine.com/?p=3429 There are lots of buzzwords that are thrown around in travel guides and blogs, but one that doesn’t get enough mention as it should is “sustainable tourism.” Sustainable tourism refers to tourism that is done in a way that contributes in a positive way to the place that you’re visiting, in terms of its environment, […]

There are lots of buzzwords that are thrown around in travel guides and blogs, but one that doesn’t get enough mention as it should is “sustainable tourism.”

Sustainable tourism refers to tourism that is done in a way that contributes in a positive way to the place that you’re visiting, in terms of its environment, society, and economy.

As we know, tourism done the wrong way can be highly detrimental. Mass tourism in places like the Caribbean often deteriorates the natural ecosystem of these places, forces residents away from their former homes, and congregates money received from tourism in the hands of a few wealthy individuals.

Sustainable tourism is a way to create positive change and to use tourism as a force for the common good. People that follow the idea of sustainable tourism try to do a few things:

  • Not disturb or harm the environment.
  • Use sustainable, mass transit options when possible.
  • Patronize small businesses and hotels instead of large companies.
  • Support organizations and institutions that conserve cultural heritage and traditions.

While many associate “green tourism” with the idea of sustainable tourism, it’s also possible to visit places sustainably even if they’re in a big city. You can opt to move around using the metro instead of a rental car, and you can grab a coffee at a local roaster’s shop instead of heading to the franchise of a large corporation.

Tourism should be both enjoyable and sustainable, and we are better off if tourists, locals, and the land coexist in mutually beneficial harmony.
