Sustainable Travel Tips for Better Journeys

Practical ways to reduce waste, support local communities and travel with more care for the places you visit.

Stay longer when possible

Slower travel can reduce transport intensity and also create a deeper connection with place.

Locally owned accommodation, restaurants and guides can keep more tourism value within the community.

Refillable water bottles, reusable bags and fewer single-use items make a simple difference.

Trails, beaches and protected areas benefit when visitors follow access rules and leave no trace.

Learn local expectations, ask before photographing people and remember that destinations are homes before they are attractions.
