Sustainable travel has been on the rise in the past few years, as travelers are becoming more concerned about their impact on the planet. If you’re trying to embrace the eco-friendly approach to your travels, picking the right destination is a good place to start, and these tips will help you make the most sustainable choice.

Close to Home

The closer you are to home, the smaller your carbon footprint is going to be. Instead of embarking on an international trip that requires the use of a plane, consider exploring some fun destinations close to home that you can visit by train or bus.

Destination Choice

If you want to embark on an international trip, consider researching destinations that allow you to keep a light footprint. The website Green Destinations is a great source of travel ideas because they compile the list of the top 100 most sustainable destinations around the world each year.

Multi-Destination Trips

If you’re thinking of embarking on a multi-destination trip, opt for destinations that you can explore without flying. Give slow travel a shot and opt for destinations that aren’t located too far from each other, so you could comfortably explore them by bus or train.
