LINDBLAD Expeditions has released a new guide for travellers aiming to help them learn about responsible travel and “make more informed decisions when picking a travel company”.
Titled Sustainable Travel: A How-To-Guide for Making a Positive Difference to the Planet, the document claims that sustainablity credentials are “more than ever impacting travellers’ decisions to seek out companies who not only practice responsible travel, but are leading the way with net-zero experiences”.
Lindblad highlights the “six core concepts of sustainable travel”: single-use plastics, sustainable food, climate action, protecting nature, culture and community, and green operations.
The document also looks at carbon offsetting, conservation and supporting local cultures, and includes “six questions to ask your travel advisor about minimising your impact on the environment”.
Lindblad noted that it became carbon-neutral in 2019, offsetting 100% of emissions from its ships, all land-based operations, employee travel and offices, as well as eliminating guest-facing single-use plastics across its entire fleet in 2018.
CEO Dolf Berle said “with Lindblad’s legacy in responsible travel and sustainability, we set out to create a resource that travellers can use to make informed decisions about the travel companies that they choose to support”.
The guide (pictured) is available for download from the Lindblad website at expeditions.com.
