Travel you can feel good about

Destinations rely on your tourism dollars, and locals are eager to welcome you back. We've put together this simple guide to help make your next trip more meaningful.

Make your trip count

Shop local
Support locally owned stores and businesses, and buy locally grown produce
Travel further
Distribute the benefits of tourism to communities that may have traditionally missed out
Travel off-peak
Better spread the economic benefits of your travel by holidaying during off-peak periods
Stay longer
Take it slow and spend more time in each destination. You’ll have more time to meaningfully connect with local communities and cultures

A little goes a long way

Be mindful
Save energy by turning off electrical appliances when they're not being used. Take care to reduce single-use items, and properly dispose of any trash
Be respectful
Read and respect the house rules before your visit, and keep the volume down in your listing - your neighbors will appreciate it
Be thoughtful
Support and respect places of cultural and historical significance when you visit. Even better, learn key phrases in the local language as a thoughtful gesture
Be safe
Check local health and safety rules and restrictions before you go - and pack a face mask and COVID-19 self-test kits to be safe. Also save local emergency numbers in your phone, just in case
