Thoughtful travel starts with considering the places and communities that make a journey special.

Small choices throughout your trip

Consider how you use resources, interact with local communities, and explore natural places. Ask providers about their practices rather than relying on broad environmental labels alone.

What this means for travelers

Responsible travel is an ongoing set of choices, from planning your stay to following guidance at the places you visit.

Key takeaways

  • Respect local guidance and shared spaces
  • Avoid unnecessary waste where practical
  • Ask accommodation providers about specific practices
