Lockdown has been difficult in many ways with itchy travelers to get out and explore our big and beautiful world again.
This pause has made us reflect our impact on the environment and the local community when we start traveling again.
According to a sustainable travel report 2021 Booking.com, 88 percent of respondents revealed that it has encouraged them to travel more sustainable in the future and 75 percent of Indian travelers believe that people have to act now to save the planet for generations.
Fortunately, making sustainable choices easier and more affordable than that might be expected.
There are many simple ways we can limit our environmental environment, and better support and engage with local communities during our upcoming trip.
To help make it easier for everyone to travel more sustainably, Booking.com shares 7 practical tips to create a positive impact on your next trip, when it is safe to do it again.

Select Continuous Accommodation Options
Choosing a more sustainable place to stay for your next trip is the right place to start – and that doesn’t mean spending a lot of money.
There are many continuous options for each budget and taste.
98 percent of Indian travelers from the latest research say that they want to live in sustainable accommodations in the coming year.
One of the easiest ways to confidently order more sustainable properties is to check and see if it has environmentally friendly label certification or third party.
Out of the track
This pandemic has affected Indian travelers to avoid popular goals and attractions to ensure they do not contribute to density.
Being attentive when choosing your next trip can help reduce tangles, which can be a big problem for the fragile environment, ecosystems and local communities.
See you, plastic!
Limiting single plastic use is arguably one of the biggest environmental challenges we face.
Many properties have taken many steps to reduce or remove single plastic use of their operations, but tourists can also take simple steps such as using bottles of water that can be reused instead of buying a plastic water bottle while on vacation or packing a bottle of toiletries that can reused with their favorites with their favorite products from home.
Message virtuous activities that give back to the public
When planning activities for your trip, look for a tourist company that gives back and empowers the local community, and is also involved in ethical tourism practices.
Take one waste item when you leave
Practical rules that are good for traveling more sustainability are by trying and leaving the place you visit better than when you find it.
A simple way to do this is to take discarded waste items that are not yours when you go – small steps but are important in caring for our environment.
And every action is taken into account – just taking one piece of plastic on the beach means that one piece less ends at sea.
Buy local
When you travel, one of the best ways to support the local economy and limit your carbon footprint is to shop locally and eat food from street vendors or restaurants that use sustainable products.
Avoid eating in a popular fast food chain that usually imports products from all over the world.
Bring good habits with you on vacation
The first sustainable step can be as simple as remember to bring the attention of the house with you traveling.
While switching to the LED lighting equipment or having key power controlled into the room there are no things that you can control as a guest, travelers can ensure they turn off the lights when they come out of their room, reuse towels or their daily linen changes and become more attention to the length of the shower they take.
