Eco-Friendly Travel Hacks
- Travel lightly – The less you pack, the less fuel is used in transportation and the easier it is for you to carry the luggage! We always need much less than we think we do! Plus saving room allows for some local purchases at your destination to bring back.
- Get around on foot or by bike where possible – always much more enjoyable and you may find things to do you hadn’t thought of. Electric bikes and scooters can be particularly fun.
- Choose an eco-hotel, look out for some of our unique featured accommodation. Eco properties work using best green practices, with particular emphasis on aiming to reduce waste, water and energy consumption, as well as sourcing sustainable eco-friendly products.
- Pack a reef-safe sunscreen (Purple Turtle has excellent zero-waste options—100% planet-friendly packaging funding ocean plastics recovery), protecting coral reefs while supporting beach clean initiatives.
- Shop local to your hotel – supporting local sustainable businesses is a crucial movement in tackling climate change, combating inequalities and improving sustainability.
