These days, many people are starting to think twice before jetting off on holiday. So forget CO2 taxes on budget flights or the hectic whistle-stop itinerary of a city break and enjoy some truly refreshing recreation closer to home as an Eco Tourist.

What is eco tourism?

In short, it's an environmentally and socially conscious form of leisure travel that focuses on local traditions, adventures in the great outdoors, personal growth and learning new ways to live on the planet. Destinations tend to be places where the primary attractions are the wildlife, landscape and cultural heritage.
