April is Earth Month, and what better way to celebrate than by supporting sustainable travel brands that are making a positive impact on the environment. Here are some companies that are leading the way in eco-friendly travel:
App in the Air is an app that helps users book the most eco-friendly flight routes by displaying the carbon footprint of each option. For every flight booked through the app, they also plant a tree in partnership with One Tree Planted.
Holland America Line is committed to sustainability and has made significant efforts to create sustainable interiors on its ships. For example, the Rotterdam ship features carpeting made from 100 percent recyclable material. The cruise line recently became the first to achieve Responsible Fisheries Management certification.
Natural Habitat Adventures is the world’s first 100 percent carbon neutral travel company. As a partner of the World Wildlife Fund, they work on various philanthropic efforts including environmental education and wildlife conservation.
Sandals Resorts, through its Sandals Foundation, supports conservation efforts and eco-friendly practices in the Caribbean and beyond. One of their initiatives, Future Goals, repurposes fishing nets and plastic waste into soccer goals for kids.
Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has a dedicated sustainability officer overseeing their sustainability program. They have set measurable goals such as reducing food waste by 50 percent by 2025 and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
These brands are leading the way in sustainable travel practices and are great options for eco-conscious travelers looking to make a positive impact on the planet.
