We, the citizens of the globe have understood it the hard way that we ought to be responsible citizens and turn the leaf of sustainability in all spheres of life- be it food, clothing, shelter, transport, education, cosmetics or anything which impacts our life.
Keeping in tow with individual efforts, the travel industry too has moved forward to make their services, operations, etc. more sustainable.
You too can contribute in these ways-
- Opt for off-peak seasons.
- Visit less popular/populous destinations.
- Use sustainable accommodations & home stays. The stay is eco-friendly and both the guest & the host are benefited.
- Choose tour operators such as Business Flight Shop, who are more environment conscious, & who makes efforts to give back; for booking business class flights to Chennai.
- Avoid disposable cutlery, plastic & paper.
- Buy organic produce.
- Do not burn wood while camping.
- Switch off the energy when not in use.
- Cycle or trek for shorter distances. Use public transports (which use CNG), for the longer distances. The best bet for eco-friendly road trips is to rent hybrid cars.
- Many airlines have decided to reduce carbon emissions with flights powered by sustainable aviation fuel on key routes. Book business class flights to Mumbai from such airlines.
- Go for paperless boarding pass and itinerary solutions, travel certificates etc. say on business class flights.
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation one must:
- Conserve environmental resources and protect biodiversity.
- Respect and preserve the cultures of host communities whilst benefiting them.
- Address the needs of the visitors and industry whilst providing socio-economic benefit to all.
In order for tourism to continue and for us to live and respect nature, the only option is for the world to move away from unconscious, mass tourism and learn from the existing examples of thriving sustainable tourism models while booking business class flights to Hyderabad.
