Shining a light on flight-free holidays and travel that can have a positive impact on nature conservation and local economic empowerment
Welcome to the latest issue of our online magazine The Green Traveller –
the magazine of our website greentraveller.co.uk.
You’ll hopefully find lots of inspiration in this issue, from hiking the glorious Golden Valley Pilgrim Way in Herefordshire (p22) and island-hopping across the Ionian Islands (26) to exploring the rural side of life in Gran Canaria (p16) and seeing community-based conservation travel in action on the beautiful Caribbean island of Saint Lucia (p32).
Tap in ‘green hotels’ into a search engine and you’ll be presented with a bewildering range of options, some more eco-friendly than others. It can be hard to know the green from the green wash. So in our ‘Best of British’ feature, I’m delighted to pick out three places are going the extra mile to reduce the impact of your stay on the environment.
As always, keep an eye out for the flight-free and positive impact icons throughout the magazine that distinguish between those trips that can be reached overland with those that bring genuine benefits to destinations through nature conservation, local community empowerment and humanitarian aid.
Happy Green Travelling,
Richard Hammond
