Do some good while seeing the world when you book with these ethical and sustainable travel companies
![eco travel agents Karen Edwards](https://media.timeout.com/images/105998940/170/170/image.jpg)
While we don’t want to labour on the negatives, you don’t need to be an expert or activist to understand that we are in a climate pinch. It seems a little contradictory to fear for the future while excitedly encouraging international travel, but we humans are an innovative bunch. Exploring the globe doesn’t need to be devastating, and being a responsible traveller doesn’t mean lectures and negativity. Whether you call it eco-travel, sustainable, ethical, regenerative or eco-travel, there is plenty to get excited about.
An increasing number of sustainable travel companies are creating itineraries that allow curious minds to see the world while keeping the impact down. The experiences are awe-inspiring, from hiking remote mountaintops to embracing the world’s most impressive national parks, allowing visitors to engage with destinations in a way that extends far beyond the superficial. If you’re looking for an ethical and environmentally driven travel company for your next adventure, look no further.

Sustainable travel companies
1. byway travel.
![Byway Travel Byway Travel](https://media.timeout.com/images/105999434/750/422/image.jpg)
In an ambitious mission statement, UK travel platform Byway declares that its goal is to make flight-free holidays a mainstream holiday choice. Their way of doing so? By helping people discover the beauty of slow, overland travel across the British Isles and Europe . Founder and CEO Cat Jones launched the now B Corporation-certified company during the first Covid lockdown, determined to find a way to reduce flight emissions. Her explanation was simple: If we continue on the current trajectory, emissions from flying are due to triple by 2050.
2. Gondwana Ecotours
Named after the ancient supercontinent that gradually split to become the land masses we recognize today, Gondwana Ecotours says its mission is to bring people from different continents closer together, one trip at a time. The New Orleans -based company specializes in small group and private tours that take on exhilarating experiences around the globe, such as gorilla trekking in Rwanda and eco-adventures in Patagonia and Mendoza.
A key component of Gondwana is its network of guides who live in the communities visited, adding personal knowledge, depth and authenticity to the experience while providing tourism-generated income. The company is also committed to limiting its carbon footprint through sustainable travel practices and is recognized for offsetting more than 580 tons of carbon emissions. Since 2021, its tours have been 100-percent carbon-neutral, as certified by the Cooler emissions tracking organization.
3. Intrepid Travel
![Intrepid Travel Intrepid Travel](https://media.timeout.com/images/105999421/750/422/image.jpg)
Australian-owned Intrepid has always been forthright in declaring its commitment to ethical and responsible practices. In 2018, it became one of the first global travel operators to be B Corporation-certified. Since 2010, it has been operating as the world’s largest carbon-neutral company, carefully measuring and offsetting all unavoidable carbon emissions for 13 years.
Their trips are just as impressive. From 15-day expeditions traversing the extraordinary gorges and remote villages of northern Pakistan’s Hunza Valley to nine-day itineraries centred around baby gorilla naming ceremonies in Rwanda’s spectacular Volcanoes National Park, Intrepid offer true bucket list travel adventures suited to guests of all interests and abilities. In 2020, as a part of the Tourism Declares A Climate Emergency initiative, the company published a seven-point climate commitment plan – revealing its intention to transition to 100% renewable energy use in offices by 2025 and on all trips by 2030.
4. Experience Travel Group
![Experience Travel Group Experience Travel Group](https://media.timeout.com/images/105999439/750/422/image.jpg)
Operating on the belief that ‘travel should be about reciprocation’, Asia travel specialist Experience Travel Group holds responsible travel at its core, enabling guests to interact with the community and experience real cultural immersion on every trip. Another B Corporation-certified company, the team is dedicated to creating experiences that divert away from trendy hubs and big hotels. Instead, they build personalised itineraries with initiatives to give back to the community included in the package.
On adventures in Indonesia , Laos, Cambodia , Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam , for example, guests can enjoy delicious local dishes at ‘social enterprise’ restaurants that support vulnerable young people through job training and employment. In Cambodia, a trip to the Phare Circus in Siem Reap sends funds directly to a performing arts school for underprivileged children in nearby Battambang. A three-day hike along sections of Sri Lanka ’s Pekoe Trail follows the old horse and cart routes that carried tea to the ports, bringing vital income to little-visited communities.
5. Seacology
![Seacology Seacology](https://media.timeout.com/images/105776157/750/422/image.jpg)
In 1990, American ethnobotanist Dr Paul Cox was conducting forest research in Samoa when village leaders told him 30,000 acres of pristine rainforest were about to be logged due to a government decree to fund a school. Cox was horrified and quickly devised a proposal to raise the needed money to conserve the forest in perpetuity. His plan worked and has come to define the Seacology model: Provide material benefits to villages that pledge to protect their natural resources.
Today, Seacology offers unique ecotourism adventures throughout the world’s islands, where travelers visit active projects, interact with local people and are part of the formula that helps conserve both habitats and communities. Seacology guests also explore intriguing island environments, from the coral reefs of Fiji to the rainforests of Borneo, while staying at well-appointed resorts and visiting important cultural sites. With all this tropical splendour, expect plenty of opportunities to scuba dive, snorkel, hike and kayak.
6. Discover Corps
Discover Corps is the leader in the rapidly growing field of 'volunteer vacations' focusing on children, schools, animals and wildlife conservation. Yes, 'voluntourism' has often become a buzzword to cash in on thinly veiled claims, earning criticism and scrutiny over the years. However, Discover Corps operates with complete transparency and has become something of a gold standard for the model.
Trip itineraries are designed to connect travellers to local communities and provide a deeper understanding of the culture, issues, and ways of life in locations around the world. Many projects are in Africa , Asia , and Latin America and can range from caring for elephants in Thailand to helping to protect the animals in South Africa's Greater Kruger National Park region.
7. ROW Adventures
![ROW Adventures ROW Adventures](https://media.timeout.com/images/105810416/750/422/image.jpg)
From its beginnings as a whitewater rafting company in the US's Pacific Northwest, ROW Adventures has evolved into an adventure travel company that advocates the transformative nature of human-powered experiences. According to ROW, connecting people with nature results in positive impacts, and the company adheres to conducting business in an inclusive and sustainable way while promoting social equity, environmental stewardship and accountability. Human-powered activities allow participants to fully observe the surroundings, whether white water rafting in Idaho's Salmon River, sea kayaking the orcas in Canada, or trekking across Machu Picchu.
ROW also recognizes that travel is a large contributor to the world’s carbon footprint and subsequently mitigates the impact by offsetting carbon-producing activities whenever possible. At the same time, trips also educate guests to be advocates for locations visited, with special recognition given to the awareness of Indigenous communities and honouring their legacies, lives and connections to the land.
8. Natural Habitat Adventures
![Natural Habitat Adventures Natural Habitat Adventures](https://media.timeout.com/images/105770976/750/422/image.jpg)
Conservation through exploration is the credo of Natural Habitat Adventures , the official travel partner of the World Wildlife Fund. Nat Hab, as it’s called, is committed to environmentally friendly nature travel, stressing that its travellers become a force for change in addressing the planet's most pressing conservation challenges. Polar bear tours in the Canadian Arctic , African safaris and South American nature tours are examples of the company’s itineraries where tourism dollars become an influential incentive for communities to protect their natural resources.
Nat Hab also acknowledges that its 8,000 annual travellers on all seven continents expend plenty of CO2. To mitigate travel’s carbon output, the company leans into offsetting measures. From 2007 to 2019, Nat Hab offset 49,418 tons of carbon dioxide and has become the world's first 100-percent carbon-neutral travel company. They’ve also provided more than $4.5 million to support WWF’s global conservation efforts and continue to give one-percent of gross sales plus $150,000 annually in support of WWF’s global mission.
9. Cheeseman's Ecological Safaris
Ecology safaris catering to wildlife enthusiasts looking for an in-depth nature experience is what husband-and-wife founders Doug and Gail Cheeseman envisioned when they started their namesake company in 1980. Doug, a college zoology and ecology professor, and Gail, a naturalist, turned their passion for nature into a travel company focusing on comprehensive wildlife tours all over the globe. Working with local guides and wildlife researchers, tours are designed for hardcore animal lovers who are obsessed with travel and enjoy learning about the animals they encounter.
For example, Cheeseman’s Palau National Marine Reserve diving trip in the western Pacific Ocean offers 12 days of snorkelling, paddling, sailing and diving among the awe-inspiring tropical islands in the region.
10. Quark Expeditions
![Quark Expeditions Quark Expeditions](https://media.timeout.com/images/105810400/750/422/image.jpg)
Quark Expeditions co-founders Lars Wikander and Mike McDowell took the first group of commercial travellers to the North Pole in 1991, completing the first-ever tourism transit of the Northeast Passage. That inaugural expedition proved a game-changer and positioned the company at the forefront of polar explorations. In the three decades since, its polar travellers have visited remote parts of the Arctic and Antarctic.
With the Earth’s polar regions threatened by climate change, Quark is committed to raising awareness of these delicate ecosystems through environmentally responsible tourism. A facet of that commitment is the company’s Polar Promise to reduce its footprint and work with other industry leaders, as well as guests, to address the complex and challenging issues facing the regions. Coordinating with a global network of scientists, community leaders and sustainability innovators, the company plans to contribute a minimum of $500,000 each year in support of key environmental initiatives and sustainable development projects.

Updated September 7, 2023
We independently research all featured brands and products. To avoid waste, we test products on an as needed basis. This post contains affiliate links. If you buy something through our links, we may earn a small commission. Learn more about why we do this here .
We love to travel—but if you’re like us, the conflicting eco-anxieties and GHGs associated with globetrotting can cast a grey cloud over your grand adventure.
For a better way to see the world, discover our favorite sustainable travel companies that enrich not only your life, but the places you visit.
From conservation projects and off-grid lodges to all-inclusive safari tours, boutique hotels and bespoke luxury itineraries that really do help the local communities, the below eco-friendly tourism companies wear their green hearts on their sleeves.
Our Curated List Of The Best Eco Tour Companies For Responsible Roaming
How can the travel industry be sustainable.
It’s no secret that the tourism industry has its fair share of ethical and environmental issues.
Carbon and fuel-intensive flights, over tourism, exploitation, animal cruelty—the list goes on.
Not to mention tourism leakage, a process in which most of the money generated by tourism goes into the pockets of billion-dollar travel companies rather than into local communities that need it.
However, you don’t need to hang up your suitcase for good. If done responsibly, tourism can have a profoundly positive impact on both the traveler and the destinations they visit.
With the right planning or travel companies, sustainable travel supports livelihoods and funnels your money directly into the local economy.
It allows small businesses to flourish, funds community projects, and helps protect the environment by showcasing its economic value if left intact.
To us, the environment is already priceless, but what we mean here is that sustainable tourism (whether solo or with the assistance of eco travel agents and tour operators) can help conserve the natural world by preventing it from being turned into farmland or apartment buildings!
While tourism still has a long way to go, sustainable travel companies are pioneering positive change in the industry.
From employing local guides to offering flight-free holidays and measuring their environmental and cultural impact, these tour operators make sure they benefit every destination they facilitate trips to.
Keep reading to find our top recommended environmentally conscious trips and jump to the bottom to learn what we consider when planning a trip with eco-tourism and sustainable travel in mind.

Earth Changers is a global eco-tourism project that truly has a positive impact, and you’ll get to meet world-changing pioneers along the way.
How Did We Choose The Top Eco-Tourism Companies?
Eco-tourism and sustainable travel are often used interchangeably.
So what is an eco-tourism company? And how does it differ from a sustainable travel company?
An eco-tourism operator tends to focus on low-impact, nature-based tours that conserve the environment through culture and education.
Think gorilla trekking in Rwanda with Intrepid Travel, staying in an eco-lodge with Aracari or booking a conservation holiday with Earth Changers.
Sustainable tourism is the umbrella term for eco-friendly travel. It’s based on the three pillars of sustainability: economic impact, sociocultural impact and environmental impact.
The idea is that travelers have the option to choose sustainable practices in all aspects of their trip. Kind Traveler’s hotel booking platform and Kynder are perfect examples of this.
Let’s explore some of our essential criteria for evaluating each sustainable travel company.
Carbon Goals & Achievements:
A truly eco travel company should prioritize carbon footprint reduction by offering flight-free alternatives, promoting train, bike, and ferry travel over flights.
If flights are part of the experience,they should be utilizing some of the best carbon offset programs to counteract the carbon footprint of those flights.
Sustainable Accommodations:
We want to explore with sustainable travel companies that curate experiences with eco-friendly hotels and restaurants, guaranteeing that your stay supports businesses that are kind to the planet and their communities.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion:
Respect for cultures being visited is an obvious essential, sustainable travel or not, but we also want companies that support local communities with meaningful cultural exchanges, fair employment of local guides, and additional investment in economic development in destination regions.
In other words, your money should be mostly staying in the community you’re visiting.
Pay It Forward:
We love to see charitable initiatives that give back to these communities in additional ways, such as supporting local conservation and social programs.
Closing Thoughts On Sustainable Tourism Companies
As you can see, eco-tourism and sustainable travel work towards creating an industry that gives back, uplifts local communities and protects fragile environments.
They also provide you with much more authentic and rewarding travel experiences.

17 Eco Travel Companies and Booking Tools to Use
Last Updated: August 21, 2024
![eco travel agents Travel Responsibly Using These Sites](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Travel-Responsibly-Using-These-Sites.jpg)
Sharing is Caring!
While the movement to travel in a more eco-friendly and sustainable way was certainly afoot prior to the pandemic, it gained momentum when we all had time to reimagine what travel would look like when the world opened up again, and how we could better impact local communities and the world around us.
If you’re looking for an eco-friendly way to travel or finding a way to travel more sustainably or in a socially responsible way, there are now a lot of eco-travel companies and booking tools. The benefits of eco-travel and responsible travel are extensive, including a reduction in the negative effects of over-tourism, helping destinations and local cultures retain their authenticity, and and having less impact on the environment so that future generations can continue to enjoy this amazing world we live in as well.

Benefits of Using an Eco-Friendly Booking Platform
Instead of using your usual go-to websites to research and book your next trip, you can actually start traveling more sustainably by using one of the special booking platforms or tour companies featured in this article. In one case simply doing your normal web browsing and searches will plant trees!
Not convinced? Here are four reasons to change how you book your vacation so your next trip can have a more positive impact:
Protecting the Environment
There are a few different ways you can help protect the environment by using an eco-friendly booking platform.
First off, it goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: when using an eco-friendly booking platform, you are generally using a company that is committed to improving and sustaining the world around us.
Secondly, some companies donate a portion of their profits to charities and initiatives that help the environment like conservation projects, planting trees, carbon offsets, minimizing the impact of tourism on local cultures, and more.
Eco-Friendly Properties
Using an eco-friendly booking platform inherently means you are much more likely to find eco-friendly accommodation that will in turn help you travel sustainably, than if you just used a regular platform.
This could be reflected in a few ways; for example the property may use renewable energy like solar panels or wind power, they may have power-saving or water-saving measures and practices, and they may also be involved in environmental projects.
Wildlife Protection
Obviously nobody would knowingly work with companies that are involved in neglecting or mistreating animals. But sadly there are a lot of grey areas when it comes to wildlife and what is considered responsible.
For example, any experience that involves human interaction with wild (or “rescued” animals) is not good. This includes elephant rides, dolphin encounters, tiger petting, sloth hugging, and more.
Hey. I wanna hug a sloth as much as the next person – I mean, they look like they’re smiling and they’re built for hugging! But did you know that handling sloths actually causes them so much stress and anxiety that it shortens their lifespan? Did you also know that because of the number of people who post pictures of themselves hugging sloths on social media, there are people who will take sloths from the wild and start tourism businesses so travelers can pay to hug sloths, all the while calling them “rescues” and feeding them misinformation?
By using a sustainable booking platform, chances are that any activities you choose to do will be with companies dedicated to wildlife protection rather than exploitation.
Fewer Emissions
Some eco-friendly booking platforms will promote airlines and travel options that produce less harmful environmental emissions.

How to Find Eco-Friendly Travel Companies and Accommodation: Clues to Look For
An eco-friendly hotel or accommodation will be built and operated in a way that will have minimal environmental effects. However, it can be challenging to find a truly eco-friendly hotel. Here are some tips:
Eco-Credentials – There are a lot of different credentials and awards available to hotels that claim to be eco-friendly, some more prestigious than others. So, if you are looking for an eco-friendly hotel, it is best to look into the different credentials a hotel can have and which ones to hold in higher regard, then choose a hotel based on those. Looking for a globally recognized sustainable certification program is especially important.
Here is some more information on green hotel certifications and what they mean.
Policies – If a hotel is committed to maintaining the environment, they will undoubtedly have a sustainability policy. These will detail their efforts and whether any larger environment protection agencies support them. When you are researching a hotel, if they have a sustainability policy they’ll probably feature it prominently on their website.
Read Reviews – Reading reviews before booking accommodation helps ensure you’ll have an experience that meets your expectations. Reviews can also give you an accurate idea of how eco-friendly the hotel is. Some sites may even have an option for you to filter the reviews for key words relating to the hotel’s sustainability.
Look at Their Menu – If the hotel you are looking at has a restaurant and is truly committed to helping the environment, their menu will probably feature fresh produce from locally sourced farms. They may even have their own gardens. Again, these practices tend to be something a hotel will emphasize, so you’ll read about it on their menu or website.
Best Socially Responsible and Eco-Friendly Travel Search Engines
Booking a sustainable trip (and ensuring you choose the right companies) starts here. These websites will help you search for and book various elements of your trip, from accommodation to activities to the best local businesses at your destination.
Here are some of the best socially responsible and eco-friendly travel search engines (in no particular order).
STAZE (Net Zero Emissions Hotel Searches)
![eco travel agents Staze net zero emissions hotel search engine](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Staze.jpg)
Staze is a hotel search engine that aims to take your hotel bookings to net zero emissions. It has glowing reviews and a mission to make sustainable travel easy so that you can still explore and enjoy everything the world offers.
To help you make choices that reduce your carbon footprint, they display the emissions of each hotel in your search results. They also offset twice the carbon footprint of every booking.
ROOMS FOR CHANGE (Hotel Searches, Travel Scholarships)
![eco travel agents Rooms for Change](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rooms-for-Change.jpg)
Rooms for change is a non-profit search engine for hotels. All of the commission from your booking is then used to create travel scholarships to help someone else who may not have the opportunity to travel otherwise. It is a great way to give back when booking your journey.
GRASSROOTS VOLUNTEERING (Find Local Social Enterprises)
![eco travel agents Grassroots volunteering](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Grassroots-Volunteering.jpg)
Grassroots volunteering is a great booking tool for sustainable travel. You can search for volunteer opportunities, but that’s not what I love about it specifically. What I love is that it has the world’s largest social enterprise database , featuring restaurants, tour operators, homestays, coffee shops, and more; all of whom use use your tourism dollars to make positive changes in the local community.
GURUWALK (Free Walking Tours)
![eco travel agents Guruwalk free walking tours](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Guruwalk.jpg)
When I arrive in a new destination, the first thing I like to do is go on a walking tour. It familiarizes me with the place and allows me to chat with the tour guide (usually a local) about the best things to see and do. And by its very nature, walking tours are eco-friendly! And Guruwalk is the site I like to use to find said free walking tour.
ECOSIA (Plant Trees While You Surf the Web)
![eco travel agents Ecosia for planting trees while surfing the web](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Ecosia.jpg)
Ecosia actually doesn’t have anything to do with travel, but I use it every single day, all day, on all my devices, so it’s worth mentioning here. Ecosia is a browser and search engine that uses its profits to plant trees. Simply doing website searches contributes to trees planted, and on the home page you can see over time how many trees you are responsible for planting with your own web searches, as well as how many Ecosia has planted overall (currently almost 157 million).
BOOK DIFFERENT (Sustainable Accommodation Searches)
![eco travel agents Book Different for sustainable accommodation searches](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Book-Different.jpg)
Bookdifferent is a sustainable accommodation search engine that earned an award in 2019 for responsible tourism. Because sustainable is a moving target, they show the most sustainable hotels at the top of the list so you’re not searching for a needle in a haystack. Their “staygreencheck” rating system evaluates hotels based on four different “ecolabels” that certify various categories of practices that make them sustainable including management, fair & local, culture friendly, and nature & environment.
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL (Eco-Travel Agent)
![eco travel agents Responsible Travel eco travel agent](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Responsible-Travel.jpg)
Responsible Travel is an eco-travel agent that offers rigorously-screened and monitored holidays and tours that have passed their social, environmental, and economic standards. Their values build on the pillars of climate, nature, and inclusivity, and each holiday offered through the site has a description of how it meets their responsible travel criteria.
You can search for holidays by type, destination, or accommodation, or you can have them create a bespoke holiday just for you. Their Trip for a Trip program sends disadvantaged children on day trips to have life-changing experiences, and so far over 4,000 children’s lives have been impacted.
EARTH CHANGERS (Curated Sustainable Trips)
![eco travel agents Earth Changers regenerative tourism company](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Earth-Changers.jpg)
Earth Changers curates a variety of trips and organizations that are deeply committed to sustainable regenerative tourism. Every experience has an extensive description of how it meets these parameters. Earth Changers is not a tour operator or agent; rather they are deeply committed to their manifesto.
KIND TRAVELER (Donate to Get Hotel Deals)
![eco travel agents Kind Traveler hotel deals for donations](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Kind-Traveler.jpg)
Kind Traveler has vetted over 140 hotels across 22 countries for their positive impact. You can unlock exclusive deals to these hotels by making a donation (minimum $10) to one of their 100+ vetted charities. Kind Traveler is a veteran-and-women-owned public benefit corporation that has pioneered this “Give and Get” hotel booking concept. 100% of the donations go to the charities in question, and you even get a report of how your donation has created a positive impact.
FAIRBNB (Responsible Home Sharing)
![eco travel agents FairBnB responsible home sharing](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/FairBnB.jpg)
According to this article , AirBnB does not score well in the ethical travel department, especially when it comes to local community impact (or rather, lack thereof). This opens the door for companies like FairBnB , which focuses on responsible home sharing.
Structured as a cooperative rather than a vacation rental platform, they invest 50% of the platform fees and commissions into local community projects. They work closely with local authorities to ensure the legality of holiday homes in each community, and they exclude large real estate investors and other non-local hosts from exploiting communities for vacation rentals.
Best Socially Responsible and Eco Tour Companies
If you want tours or activities an eco-travel company leads, you will be happy with the following examples. All the names below are sustainable tourism companies that will allow you to explore while looking after the environment and the people at your destinations.
NATURAL HABITAT ADVENTURES (Sustainable Adventure Travel Outfitter)
![eco travel agents Natural Habitat Adventures travel outfitter](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Natural-Habitat-Adventures.jpg)
Natural Habitat Adventures boasts the title of #1 Adventure Travel Outfitter as designated by Outside magazine. In their 35+ years of operation they’ve racked up an impressive collection of sustainable travel awards. They are solely focused on nature adventures, and do so through their alliance with the WWF and mission of Conservation Through Exploration. They offer small group trips facilitated by scientists and naturalist expedition leaders.
BYWAY TRAVEL (Eco-Luxury Holidays and Tours by Land)
![eco travel agents Byway Travel eco-luxury holidays](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Byway-Travel.jpg)
ByWay Travel is a unique travel experience, offering eco-luxury holidays and tours requiring no air travel. It is solely a rail exploration company offering holidays in the UK and Europe. Byway Travel has also won the 2022 Marie Claire Sustainability Awards, solidifying its commitment to eco travel.
ByWay Travel also became a Certified B Corporation in 2022, which is a pretty big deal and demonstrates they meet the highest standards of positive social and environmental impacts across their entire operation.
G ADVENTURES (Worldwide Trips With a Focus on Community Impact)
![eco travel agents G Adventures Planeterra](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/G-Adventures.jpg)
G Adventures works with local communities to provide you with an adventure travel experience you will never forget. They offer trips around the world that are centered around meaningful relationships with communities so that locals benefit from the groups that come through. Tour leaders are also all locally-based rather an “imported”.
They are also partnered with the non-profit Planeterra , which is the world’s leading NGO dedicated to creating positive impact on communities by connecting tour companies (like G Adventures) with community tourism initiatives.
INTREPID TRAVEL (Carbon Neutral B-Corp)
![eco travel agents Intrepid Travel carbon neutral b-corp](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Intrepid.jpg)
Intrepid Travel walks the talk; they’ve been carbon-neutral since 2010, they’re B Corp Certified, and they created a non-profit foundation called The Intrepid Foundation. They offer a huge variety of travel experiences around the world, catering to different travel styles and budgets.
GONDWANA ECO-TOURS (Small Group Eco-Friendly Adventures)
![eco travel agents Gondwana ecotours](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Gondwanda-Eco-Tours.jpg)
Gondwana Eco Tours caters to small groups and private clients, leading eco-friendly adventures in Alaska, Argentina, Louisiana, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania. All their tours are carbon neutral (as of 2021), and they pay special attention to supporting local programs and initiatives.
FOOD STORIES TRAVEL (Walking/Hiking/Cycling Tours in Europe)
![eco travel agents Food Stories Travel](https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Food-Stories-Travel.jpg)
Food Stories Travel offers small group walking/hiking and cycling tours, mostly in Italy, but with a selection of cycling tours in other European destinations. They help travelers immerse in local culture through food and supporting local farmers and artisans.
They’re carbon-neutral, a Certified B Corporation, and a member of 1% For the Planet.
Final Words
No matter what we do and where, we are a part of climate change, for better or worse. Flying to your destination may involve carbon dioxide emissions, but I believe that’s not the whole picture. If you patronize local accommodation and businesses, and use socially responsible tour operators, you can create a net-positive impact for yourself and the world around you.
With the help of the companies and search tools listed in this article – which are some of the best online travel booking tools, rest assured you’ll be booking a more sustainable and eco-friendly vacation and you’ll finding the perfect destinations for your travel style and preferences.

Wow! That is such a helpful post. Thank you for sharing.
I appreciate the thorough research and analysis that went into this post, as well as the practical advice for travelers looking to book eco-friendly trips. The author’s emphasis on the importance of doing your own research and looking beyond greenwashing marketing claims is particularly valuable, as it can be challenging to navigate the sometimes-confusing landscape of sustainable travel options.
Great list of some of the companies doing great things around the world. Thought I would also mention some in Australia which are supporting and promoting sustainable and responsible travel: Green Getaways Australia and Ecotourism Australia.
Thanks for the tip, Susan!

I had a fantastic experience on the iceland fire and ice tour i decided to go on the trip solo and was originally concerned that i would feel secluded but that was far from accurate everyone from the local guides to the trip leader and other travelers were so welcoming and adventurous. i can't commend the team enough- excellent customer service from the initial contact for information to the follow-up after we got home. i highly recommend ecotravel adventures for your next trip - solo or otherwise.

These Travel Companies Created Tools to Help You Travel More Sustainably
The Global Visions Awards honorees in this category can help you build more sustainable travel habits right from the moment you book a trip.
Jeff Chu is an editor-at-large at Travel + Leisure .
![eco travel agents eco travel agents](https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/Z7DH2nuK0GBeUBXryUT7B8VvrrM=/75x75/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Jeff-Chu-1-5ba972816d394d56b45b227b5e41b423.jpg)
The Travel + Leisure Global Vision Awards aim to identify and honor companies, individuals, destinations, and organizations taking strides to develop more sustainable and responsible travel products, practices, and experiences. Not only are they demonstrating thought leadership and creative problem-solving, they are taking actionable, quantifiable steps to protect communities and environments around the world. What's more, they are inspiring their industry colleagues and travelers to do their part.
Adopting more sustainable travel habits is easier than you might think, and it can start with the simple act of booking a trip. It's especially simple if you support one of the Global Vision Awards honorees in this category. The three companies — one online travel agency and two tour operators — give travelers near effortless ways to give back to communities and causes around the world. With a booking platform that incentivizes charitable giving, a subscription model for carbon offsets, and a diagnostic tool that measures the socioeconomic impact of a trip, the honorees on this list nudge travelers — and the industry at large — in a more responsible, conscious direction. — T+L Editors
Kind Traveler
Jessica Blotter and Sean Krejci, the founders of Kind Traveler , have created a travel-booking platform that offers a clever, easy-to-use system for both seeing the world and investing in making that world better. Make a donation to one of their vetted charities, and you unlock special rates for their hundreds of partner hotels. For example, if you're planning a trip to the Maldives and animal welfare is a cause close to your heart, a contribution of as little as $10 to the Manta Trust — which researches and protects threatened manta rays in the region — will discount your booking at Hurawalhi Island Resort by an average of $275 per night. One hundred percent of donations go to the chosen cause.
Intrepid Travel x Offset Earth
Going carbon-neutral may be a present-day preoccupation for many companies — but for the Australian tour operator Intrepid Travel , which takes tens of thousands of travelers on small-group escorted tours annually, it's very last decade. Intrepid achieved carbon-neutral status in 2010. By the end of 2020, it plans to become the world's first "climate positive" travel company through its partnership with carbon offsetting startup Offset Earth . Through this program, Intrepid hopes to remove more carbon dioxide from the environment than it produces.
But Intrepid's responsible-travel roots run even deeper: The company operates as a certified B corporation, which means it measures its success not just by its financial profits but also by social and environmental outcomes and public transparency. In 2014, it became the first tour operator to eliminate all elephant rides on its itineraries; more than 100 other travel companies have since followed suit. It also invests in more than two dozen projects in the locales where it runs tours, including an educational initiative for girls in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains, reforestation efforts in Kenya, and kelp-forest conservation in Australia.
These Travel Accessories Make Sleeping on Airplanes Way Easier
The ripple score by g adventures.
Done right, tourism "creates financial opportunities for women, youth, and indigenous communities, and empowers local people to protect their environment for future generations," Canadian entrepreneur Bruce Poon Tip says. This vision is at the heart of G Adventures , the tour operator Poon Tip founded in 1990, which strives to maximize the positive economic impact of travel on communities around the world. Today, some 200,000 travelers take a G Adventures trip each year; the company organizes itineraries to every continent except Antarctica. Last year, it introduced the Ripple Score , a metric that tells travelers exactly how (and how much of) the money spent on a G Adventures package benefits the people and places they visit. In the cacao-growing Ecuadorian village of Shandia, for instance, local youths lead visitors on cycling tours. On Malaysia's Libaran Island, residents have received training in traditional craft and cookery, skills that enable them to benefit from the steady, lucrative market of visitors drawn by the island's nesting sea turtles. (The trips that feature these excursions earn a 98 and a perfect 100, respectively.) The Ripple Score lets travelers see how their presence in these places affects the people they meet — and thanks to a new program, Project 100 , 2020 will see 100 new tourism-related community initiatives that tour groups can support on the ground. Poon Tip says, "tourism can be a force for good — if we approach it in a responsible and inclusive way."

They offer small group trips that allow for a more intimate and authentic experience, while also reducing the impact on the environment. These companies often engage in environmental projects and initiatives, such as conservation efforts and supporting local economies.
Sustainable Adventure Tours
We love exploring the world sustainably with eco-friendly travel agencies that offer a wide range of sustainable adventure tours. These tours aren’t only thrilling and exciting but also prioritize responsible tourism and regenerative travel.

Eco-Conscious Vacation Packages
Let’s dive into the world of eco-conscious vacation packages, which offer sustainable and responsible travel experiences for those seeking to make a positive impact on the environment and local communities.
These packages, often referred to as eco tours or sustainable trips, are designed to promote green travel and regenerative tourism. They’re curated by responsible companies that prioritize environmental and social considerations.
One of the key focuses of these vacation packages is reducing carbon emissions. Many companies actively work towards minimizing their carbon footprint by offering flight-free alternatives, carbon offset programs, and investing in community projects that support carbon-neutral trips. By choosing such packages, travelers can ensure their travel has a minimal impact on the environment.
In addition to environmental considerations, eco-conscious vacation packages also prioritize supporting local communities. They do this by promoting local accommodation options and engaging in community development projects. These packages offer opportunities for travelers to immerse themselves in the local culture and contribute to the well-being of the communities they visit.
Moreover, these vacation packages often include opportunities for ethical wildlife experiences. They collaborate with NGOs and grassroots organizations to ensure that conservation work is prioritized and that wildlife encounters are conducted in a responsible and respectful manner.
Ethical Travel Experiences
Our top three ethical travel experiences immerse us in local communities, support conservation efforts, and foster cultural exchange. When traveling with responsible companies, we can embark on unforgettable adventures that make a positive impact on the environment and the communities we visit.
Here are four incredible experiences that combine environmental sustainability, community engagement, and cultural immersion:
- Join a community-based tourism project in a remote village, where we can stay with local families, learn about their traditions, and contribute to their economic development.
- Take part in an environmental conservation program, such as marine turtle conservation, where we can help protect endangered species and their habitats.
- Explore a social enterprise that promotes sustainable tourism while supporting marginalized communities, such as a fair-trade craft cooperative or a community-owned eco-lodge.
- Participate in a carbon-neutral trekking expedition, where we can experience breathtaking landscapes while minimizing our environmental footprint through responsible travel practices.
These experiences offer opportunities for meaningful connections, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of the world around us. By choosing ethical travel, we can create a positive impact while enjoying unforgettable adventures.
Green Tourism Agencies
When searching for eco-friendly travel agencies, it’s important to consider those that prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Green tourism agencies focus on providing carbon-neutral trips and offsetting emissions, while also working towards reducing their carbon footprint. These companies understand the importance of minimizing environmental impact and promoting ethical wildlife experiences.
They support local communities by advocating for positive change, supporting NGOs and grassroots organizations, and investing in community development projects. Two notable green tourism agencies are G Adventures and Intrepid Travel .
G Adventures, a leading adventure travel company, is committed to promoting sustainable tourism practices and minimizing environmental impact. Intrepid Travel, a Booking.com platform, offers a range of responsible travel experiences that prioritize local culture and support independent businesses.
By choosing to travel with these eco-friendly agencies, we can embark on unforgettable adventures while also making a positive impact on the environment and local communities.
These top travel agencies prioritize sustainability and responsible travel, offering unique experiences that allow us to immerse ourselves in nature and culture.
So, let’s take the road less traveled, leave nothing but footprints, and create a harmonious rhythm between our travels and the world we explore. Together, we can shape a more sustainable future for tourism.

How Travel Agents Can Embrace Eco-Friendly Tourism
- January 19, 2024
- Pickles Travel Network
In a world where environmental concerns are at the forefront of global discussions, the travel industry has a crucial role to play in promoting sustainability. Travel agents wield considerable influence, and by embracing eco-friendly tourism practices, they can contribute to positive change. In this blog, we will explore the significance of eco-tourism, its benefits, and practical steps that travel agents can take to promote sustainable travel.
Understanding Eco-Friendly Tourism
Eco-tourism, also known as sustainable tourism, is a responsible travel practice that focuses on minimizing the impact on the environment, respecting local cultures, and supporting conservation efforts. For travel agents, incorporating eco-friendly elements into their offerings can not only attract environmentally conscious travelers but also contribute to the preservation of natural and cultural resources.
The Benefits of Eco-Tourism
1. conservation of biodiversity.
Eco-tourism emphasizes the importance of protecting natural habitats and wildlife. By promoting destinations that prioritize conservation, travel agents can contribute to the preservation of biodiversity.
2. Community Empowerment
Sustainable tourism involves engaging local communities in the tourism process. Travel agents can support initiatives that empower communities economically and socially, ensuring they benefit from tourism in a meaningful way.
3. Positive Brand Image
Embracing eco-friendly practices enhances the reputation of travel agencies. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, aligning your brand with sustainable values can attract a growing segment of responsible travelers.
Navigating Certification Programs
In the realm of eco-friendly tourism, certification programs play a crucial role in identifying accommodations and services that adhere to sustainable practices. Travel agents can guide their clients toward establishments with recognized sustainability certifications, such as EarthCheck, Green Key, or Rainforest Alliance. Familiarizing themselves with these programs allows agents to make informed recommendations, assuring clients that their chosen accommodations meet stringent environmental and social responsibility standards. This not only aligns with the principles of responsible tourism but also helps build trust between the travel agent and the eco-conscious traveler.
6 Practical Steps for Travel Agents
1. partner with eco-friendly accommodations.
Travel agents should research and collaborate with hotels and resorts that have implemented eco-friendly initiatives, such as energy conservation, waste reduction, and water-saving practices. Highlighting these accommodations in travel packages showcases the agency’s commitment to sustainable tourism and provides clients with the practical experience of staying in accommodations that align with their travel values.
2. Promote Green Transportation
Encourage clients to choose eco-friendly transportation options, such as hybrid or electric vehicles. Promote public transportation or biking when exploring destinations. Provide information on carbon offset programs that travelers can participate in to mitigate their carbon footprint.
If possible, opting for train travel over flying is a more environmentally friendly choice, as trains generally have lower carbon emissions, reduced energy consumption, and contribute less to air pollution compared to air travel.
3. Educate Clients on Responsible Practices
Develop educational materials for clients, emphasizing the importance of responsible tourism behavior, such as respecting local cultures, wildlife, and natural environments. Provide tips on minimizing waste, reducing energy consumption, and supporting local businesses during their travels.
4. Support Conservation Initiatives
Collaborate with organizations dedicated to environmental conservation and community development. Create special tour packages that contribute a percentage of the profits to conservation projects, showcasing the agency’s commitment to making a positive impact.
5. Implement Sustainable Tour Activities
Design travel itineraries that include eco-friendly activities, such as guided nature walks, wildlife safaris with certified guides, and visits to sustainable agriculture projects. Avoid promoting activities that exploit animals or harm the environment.
6. Partner with a Travel Host Agency
Collaborating with a host agency, like Pickles Travel Network , can significantly benefit travel agents aiming to provide more eco-friendly options by offering access to a network of sustainable partners, resources, and expert guidance, facilitating the integration of environmentally responsible practices into their travel offerings and enhancing their ability to meet the growing demand for eco-conscious tourism.
Adapting to Changing Trends
The landscape of eco-tourism is continually evolving, with new trends and innovations shaping the industry. Travel agents need to stay abreast of these changes to provide cutting-edge sustainable travel options. This could involve incorporating emerging technologies that reduce the environmental impact of travel, such as virtual reality experiences or blockchain for transparent supply chains. Agents should also monitor evolving consumer preferences, recognizing the increasing demand for off-the-beaten-path destinations, eco-friendly accommodations, and unique sustainable experiences. By adapting to these trends, travel agents position themselves as leaders in the eco-friendly travel space, ensuring their offerings remain relevant and attractive to a diverse range of conscientious travelers.
As travel agents, embracing eco-friendly tourism is not just a trend but a responsibility towards the planet and future generations.
By incorporating sustainable practices into their offerings, travel agents can contribute to the conservation of natural and cultural resources, empower local communities, and build a positive brand image. The shift towards eco-tourism is a collective effort, and travel agents play a pivotal role in leading the way towards a more sustainable and responsible travel industry.
