Some good, thoughtful advice and some really TERRIBLE advice (like suggesting travel to "untouristed" countries where people generally don't want to visit due to war, violence and natural disasters!). The "think about it" sidebars on critically thinking through things like voluntourism and cultural tourism were really good, but a lot of this book was pretty out-there and unlikely to reach much of the traveling populace. Also, what kind of travel book has all kinds of beautiful photos but doesn't have ANY captions saying what or where they are?

I would like to thank netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Some good tips, but a lot of it was common sense. I like that the author touched on racial justice topics.

Sustainable Travel... well researched and detailed guide to places and activities off the beaten trail. Unique destinations are presented and insights to plan, travel, stay, eat and shop with high regard to local economies and cultural customs are suggested. Thoughtful topic!

A thought-provoking read. With climate change one of the biggest news items at present, it is more important than ever to consider the footprint we leave behind us when we travel. Equally, we need to consider our behaviour once in a destination and what we can do to benefit the places we visit.
This book illustrates how many individuals and organisations worldwide are already doing their bit to preserve natural habitats and ecosystems, whilst educating and providing opportunities for local and indigenous people to participate. Regenerative travel is becoming more important, and this is covered in detail.
So many travel experiences can pay lip service to eco-tourism, so Holly Tuppen has listed important questions that any traveller should ask tour operators and accommodation providers. Using her own experiences, she also gives advice on volunteering, cutting waste, and reducing your carbon footprint.
I found the book very informative and noted several websites for future reference. I like to use public transport, so found this section particularly useful. The final section, providing recommendations on getting around, experiences, and places to stay in each inhabited continent, should whet the appetite for future travel adventures.
Wherever you want to travel, this book provides an excellent point of reference. It also gives hope that raising awareness of sustainable travel will lead to greater responsibility from those with the power and influence to change behaviours and preserve natural habitats and ecosystems.

Good guide for explaining the benefits of sustainable travel.
Are you a traveler? Have you ever thought about the impact that travel and tourism have on the world? Many people either don’t think about it or don’t fully understand what that impact is. Holly Tuppen has written a great book to help guide travelers through common issues that occur to our planet and how to help sustainably. This book outlines how to travel better, whether the method or location. There is also a good section explaining carbon emissions and your own travel carbon footprint and how you can reduce it. Possibly the best part is when she gives ideas to some of the best locations that travels can visit responsibly and sustainably.
I recommend this book to people interested in sustainability and travelers in general.
I received a complimentary copy of this title from the publisher. The views and opinions expressed within are my own.

An inspiring book and thankfully i am already doing some great things to make my own travel (when I can) more sustainable. Some great tips on volunteering and locating ethical projects around the world. The photography is of a high quality as well. Well researched and written from true travellers who care about our planet and still so much we need to learn. Layout is good and content just enough to whet your appetite to find out more. Thank you #NetGalley for the copy to review.

Great for people wanting some tips and information on how to be more sustainable. Case studies and small interviews with people alongside the information is cool.

In these days of not traveling as I would like, some research on ways to travel that are less impactful on the planet seems like a good idea. This book is well illustrated by photographs and includes a section on particularly good places for staying, experiencing, and getting around on each continent. It is helpful to ponder why I want to travel and what I expect to gain, besides seeing family and friends. Reflecting on this book made me realize that I rarely travel for adventure's sake, though while I am someplace new I am happy to explore.
Tuppen defines sustainable, transformative, and regenerative travel experiences as: 'travel that funds the protection of nature; travel that empowers marginalized parts of society; travel that helps us learn from indigenous peoples; travel that heals; travel that brings us closer to our doorstep natural and cultural heritage; travel that uplifts the host as much as the visitor; travel that changes hearts and minds for the better' (8). Ways to reduce carbon footprints begin with the usual and then branch out: fly less, choose alternative transport (trains, buses, ferries, human-powered transport including walking), go for longer (that I am interest in!), fly better (direct, pack light, efficient airlines), reduce carbon footprint through choices about accommodation, food and drink (locally grown), and support change (22ff).
