An Africa tour operator which focuses on ethical tourism and voluntourism

  We used to have a desire to kick back on holiday, but now the desire to give back has moved to the forefront when it comes to booking that dream trip.  Proof that there’s more than one way to join in with the “feel good” factor, the “Travelling Eco-Book Depository” combines the traditional idea of recycling with the ethical mindset of today’s travellers – “reduce, reuse, recycle,” entering the travel sphere.  Simplistic it may be, but while most initiatives are generally tour operator led,…

Travel/hospitality companies taking a lead in environmental protection

  As Daniel and Martha Everett and their two children enjoyed a trip to Florida's Walt Disney World, their focus was on entertainment and excitement rather than the environment. And when Barbara and Andy Allen checked into a Boston hotel, they wanted to fit as many sights as possible into their two-day visit. They gave little thought to how their stay might impact the ecosystem. But...read post

    Too many Caribbean islands succumb to the allure of cruise tourism, but Anguilla is a notable standout, citing its negative environmental impact. Of course, it's easier for them, since they make more from their exclusive, high-end brand of tourism. But commendable nonetheless! https://www.express.co.uk/travel/cruise/1669741/caribbean-cruise-sh...

    One of the great travel blogs I follow is Sand in My Suitcase, from British-Columbia-based (and Tripatini member) Janice Mucalov and her husband Geroge. Several months ago they published a thoughtful post on what it means to travel responsibly, minimizing harm to the planet and local societies while maximizing the benefits, with a lot of great examples across all travel sectors throughout the world, plus 30 tips on how each of us can put these concepts into action when we travel. They put a lot of though and effort into this, and because responsible travel is more vital than ever in our endangered biosphere, I urge you to read it: https://sandinmysuitcase.com/responsible-tourist/?fbclid=IwAR2DgX5d...

    Wow, just discovered Tripatini a couple of days ago, very glad to see this group. Needs more love though, only 27 members?! This should be integrated as major component to any social media network for travel... not just a small ad in

    Hello everybody, we're honoured to join this group, and we hope to be able to work with you in making Responsible Travel more and more a reality.

    We agree with the points you all made there regarding the definition of Responsible Travel. Like Thommen, we believe that the sustainable transformation it brings should be able to reach different aspects of the community, from the economy, culture and traditions, and environment, as well as politics, education, and others.
