Majority of the tourists go for holiday at place where there is sand, sun and sea. A tourist industry has increasingly detrimental effects on the environment as we expect 1billion people to travel for holidays, honey moon, etc every year. The situation can get worse unless we we start thinking beyond the sun screen factor. We prefer few international and local holidays and tour that can minimize your on your environment which can contribute to positive change.
It is preferred to search for small companies who use local managed tours where conservation measures are already in place and where enough time is given to gaining insights into the local environment and the live of local people.
Community tourism aims to benefit and this include local communities, indigenous people to be specific. Always check holidays are run with involvement of local people and fare share of profits goes back to local projects.
You can decide to tour on a environmental working holidays volunteer workers on organic farms and the British Trust for Conservation of Volunteers (BTCV) have projects in the UK and overseas. (BTVC) are offering a unique experience the chance to do something practical for the country of your host and make contribution to conservation on global scale.
