Sustainable travel
Travel well, and leave places better for the people who live there.
Travel less often, stay longer
One longer trip usually has a lower footprint than several short ones, and you'll see more.
Choose lower-impact transport
Trains are often as fast as flying on short routes in Europe and Japan once airport time is counted, and far more relaxing.
Spend locally
- Eat at family-run restaurants and markets.
- Book local guides and community-run experiences.
- Buy crafts directly from makers.
Respect places
- Visit popular sights early or late to spread crowds.
- Follow local dress codes and photography rules.
- Never touch coral or feed wildlife.
Reduce waste
Carry a refillable bottle and filter where tap water isn't drinkable, refuse single-use plastics and reuse hotel towels.
