Eco-responsible travel is based on a fundamental principle of carbon neutrality, aimed at reducing the negative impact on the environment and preserving our planet. There are several key principles to guide eco-friendly travel, which can be adopted gradually to ease the transition to greener travel.
A first step is to favor less polluting transport such as the train, carpooling or bus trips. Limiting the use of the plane is also important, by choosing non-stop flights and respecting the ratio between the distance traveled and the length of stay. for example, one hour of flight would be equivalent to around fifteen days of vacation on site in Madagascar.
Collaborating with travel agencies and service providers committed to eco-responsible practices is essential. It is recommended to check the different labels of the places of stay in Madagascar and throughout your journey. Opt for accommodations such as hotels, lodges or campsites committed to an environmental approach and members of professional organizations for responsible and sustainable tourism, like ANTSO Re.
Reducing the weight of luggage and only taking the essentials is another eco-responsible practice. Use environmentally friendly products, such as sun milks rather than oils which can harm marine ecosystems, is also recommended.
Eco-friendly travel requires real commitment and the adoption of eco-responsible behavior in order to reduce our energy consumption and carbon footprint.
In these times of restrictions due to the circulation of the virus, it is essential to adopt a different approach to our travels. This exceptional situation is not eternal, and it's time to rethink the way we travel more responsibly, sustainable and humane.
Get ready to discover the world in an environmentally friendly way, by contributing to the preservation of our beautiful planet during your future trips.
