Green Travel Trend Gaining Popularity

An eco-friendly travel survey conducted by TripAdvisor has found that the green travel trend is gaining momentum, according to a report by TravelDailyNews.com.

Some of the interesting findings include:
  • 20% of respondents said they would consider an "eco-tourism." trip but 17% said they were unfamiliar with such trips. 
  • Nearly a third of travellers (30%) would choose a destination because it was considered eco-friendly.
  • 60% of travellers said they rarely felt informed about whether hotels were truly eco-friendly, and 13% said they never did. 
  • Half of the travellers surveyed would spend more money to stay in eco-friendly accommodation. 
  • 75% said the economic landscape did not affect their interest in eco-friendly travel choices. 
  • 24% had considered a voluntourism trip and 3% said they had taken one. 16% were unfamiliar with voluntourism trips. 
"Green initiatives are an increasing priority for hospitality businesses that are trying to reduce their environmental footprint," said Jenny Rushmore, Director of responsible travel for TripAdvisor. "Our survey shows that TripAdvisor travellers are interested in eco-friendly practices, but hungry for more information about which green plans and policies are actually in place."
