A Booking.com survey revealed that a significant majority of travelers aim for sustainable travel, indicating a desire to positively impact destinations. Travel businesses are responding by creating initiatives focused on community benefits and social issues. Examples include Kind Traveler, which supports local charities through guest stays, and educational tours offered by nonprofits like Abara and Telos Group that tackle complex social topics. Organizations such as the RISE Travel Institute provide online resources to help travelers understand their impact and engage responsibly with the destinations they visit.
A recent Booking.com global survey of 31,000 travelers found that 71 percent of respondents want to leave the places they visit better than when they arrived.
Eighty-three percent said that sustainable travel is important to them.
Travel businesses are responding to social effects of tourism, helping visitors maximize positive impacts and minimize negative ones.
The RISE Travel Institute offers online classes on responsible travel and has released a free e-book on decolonizing travel.
