No matter how you choose to get from point A to point B, all forms of transportation have an impact in terms of sustainability. Luckily for you, GBRI is here to help. We’ve assembled a guide to help you make the most sustainable travel choices this holiday season and beyond. In our Don’t be a Tourist guide, we’ll take a look at what sustainable travel is and uncover the history behind it. We will then discuss the major sustainability impacts of travel and what travelers can do to reduce their impact. Finally, we’ll review some destinations around the world that offer unique sustainable travel experiences.
