🌱 1. Choose Eco-Conscious Accommodation

From chic boutique hotels to luxurious eco-resorts, many properties now offer green credentials without skimping on comfort. Look out for:

• Sustainability certifications like Green Key, EarthCheck, or LEED
• Solar power, rainwater collection, and energy-efficient systems
• Organic toiletries, local materials, and plastic-free amenities

💡 Need help finding the perfect eco-stay? That’s what we do best.

✈️ 2. Fly Smart

Air travel has an impact, but there are ways to make it more responsible:

• Fly direct where possible (take-off and landing use the most fuel)
• Offset your carbon footprint through verified projects
• Travel light: less weight = less fuel

We also love helping clients explore rail options or slower travel styles that are both scenic and sustainable.

🍽️ 3. Eat & Shop Local

Supporting local restaurants, markets and artisans not only keeps money in the community — it gives you a richer, more authentic experience.

• Try regional dishes made with seasonal ingredients
• Skip the big chains and enjoy family-run cafes and shops
• Take home handmade souvenirs rather than mass-produced trinkets

🛍️ Ask us about foodie-focused holidays or guided cultural tours that support local economies.

🚲 4. Explore Thoughtfully

Think beyond taxis and tourist buses. More immersive — and sustainable — ways to explore include:

• Walking tours, e-bike rentals or kayaking adventures
• Using public transport like scenic trains or trams
• Booking small-group or community-run excursions

You’ll see more, connect more, and feel better doing it.

♻️ 5. Pack With Purpose

Little choices make a big impact. Consider packing:

• A reusable water bottle, coffee cup & shopping bag
• Reef-safe sunscreen and solid toiletries to reduce plastic waste
• Clothes you can re-wear and layer

🧳 Pro tip: We can help you plan for climates, dress codes and packing light!
