0
As eco-consciousness rises, a new breed of luxury travel company is pioneering decadent yet sustainable journeys that prioritise environmental and cultural preservation.
Take andBeyond‘s ethos of “Care of the Land, Wildlife, and People” which shapes their sustainable safari lodges and philanthropic excursions across Africa and India. Guests can participate in rhino conservation efforts on immersive trips.
Another operator facilitates transformative connections with indigenous tribes on the verge of cultural extinction. Their tribal journeys provide income while celebrating ancient belief systems. Similarly, Backroads supports local artisans by incorporating workshops, wine tastings, and craft demonstrations into active tours like their Canadian Rockies Hiking & Camping itineraries.
In the realm of eco-accommodations, brands like Cempedak are elevating sustainable luxury with resorts crafted from renewable bamboo while funding local communities. Their Singapore and Indonesia properties dazzle with immersive nature and cultural experiences.
Then there are travel visionaries like Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic joint adventures that pursue a mission of conservation through exploration. The groundbreaking NGM/Lindblad Antarctic cruise empowers citizen scientists while exploring pristine, marine environments.
Virtuoso‘s sustainable travel providers, evaluated for their commitment to environmentally-friendly practices, offer a wealth of decadent options treading lightly on our planet.
The rise of a conscious luxury travel amalgam allows today’s discerning jet-setters to indulge their wanderlust while leaving a legacy of sustainability and cross-cultural connections.
