Green travel is
increasingly becoming a favorite catch phrase in the tourist industry.
Promoting the essence of responsible travel aims to protect the culture and
environment of the places you visit. Thus, green travel tips are being given freely by travel websites, airlines and leaflets in
airports.
The negative impacts
of tourism are evident in the most visited tourist attractions everywhere.
Thus, it has become essential that visitors minimize their individual impacts
as much as possible on tourist attractions, especially those that are
considered earth’s natural or cultural treasures. One sure way of being a
responsible tourist is to choose our mode of transportation. If we are going on
a short trip, we can opt to take the train instead of the plane. If you have to
ride the plane, choose to pay a small fee that will go to organizations that
are working to mitigate the damaging effects of air travel. Choose public
transportation systems over car rentals or taxi cabs.
During your
expeditions, travel with a tour operator who is known to be environmentally
responsible. Find a green hotel to stay in. Throw your garbage properly or take
it with you when you leave if there are no properly marked garbage depositories
in the place you are visiting. And always treat the locals with respect and be
sensitive to their issues with dressing and behavior. And always read up on the
area that you are visiting before you take your trip.
