The Responsible Tourist: How to find, book and get the most from your holiday
Travelling responsibly can provide a richer holiday experience. The Responsible Tourist gives you the tools you need to make an informed decision about your holiday. The book describes how to find a responsible destination, how to find and use online booking platforms that promote sustainable holidays, and how to find and book directly with a responsible hotel or tour operator.
The book is an initiative contributing to the 10YFP Sustainable Tourism Program, and has been reviewed by members of the IUCN Tourism and Protected Areas Specialist Group, the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, and the UNWTO.
