Most of us love to travel: as they say, it broadens the mind as well as the conversation! But we need to make sustainable travel the foundation of our travel choices, so that we can lessen the impact we have on the places we love to visit.
Let’s be honest: sometimes it’s hard to know what exactly all the certifications and movements around environmentally friendly options actually mean. When it comes to travel, making sustainable choices can seem like a bit of a minefield, but knowing what to look out for is a good place to start.
