Green Economy Sectors Tourism
Tourism
Tread lightly on your travel destinations.
- Tourism can be great for local economies, but not if it results in negative environmental and social impacts.
- The same principles apply to supporting a Green Economy both at home and afar: buy local, travel with others, limit water and energy use, etc.
- Know before you go: What hotels and travel agencies support ecotourism? How can I limit my impact on sensitive habitats?
- When you support ecotourism, you help the communities in your travel destinations achieve economic growth without sacrificing environmental and social well-being. GreenUp!
