sustainable travel
Environmentally conscious tourism
Sustainable travel refers to tourism and transportation practices that minimize environmental impact and support local communities.
The concept encompasses choosing lower-carbon transport, reducing waste, and respecting natural and cultural resources: We opted for sustainable travel by taking the train instead of flying.
The term appears frequently in eco-conscious marketing, sometimes as genuine commitment, sometimes as greenwashing.
