With sustainability top of mind for many Americans, mindful travel has become a natural extension of those conscious efforts among people looking to getaway. New research from Booking.com indicates that 61% of Americans have a desire to travel more sustainably over the next year, which is a 15% increase since last year. With this sentiment on the rise, it is now easier for travelers to find sustainable stays with the newly implemented Travel Sustainable badge. The badge designates any kind of property – from apartments, B&Bs, and holiday homes to hotels, resorts, and even treehouses – with a combination of sustainable practices such as eliminating single-use plastics to offering tours and activities by local businesses and more.
Lifestyle and Travel Expert Carmen Ordonez shares the latest in sustainable travel including tips for finding and booking sustainable stays for Americans looking to make more mindful, conscious travel choices.
