Eco-Tours/Adventures
For the same reasons that you choose eco-friendly hotels and airlines, you’ll want to take tours operated by companies that are environmentally aware. They will take the same pride in choosing destinations and transportation providers that are working to save energy and water and to use regenerating resources where possible.
Whether you’re a surfer, golfer or skier, we have found some of the best destinations at which you can enjoy your sport. An athletic lifestyle makes us realize how much we enjoy our natural resources, as well as depend upon them to support our existence.
Wherever you travel to enjoy your sport, remember to respect the environment just as much as you do at home. In many cases, people in other parts of the world are even more aware of the need for conservation than we are in the U.S. Severe drought and natural disasters have escalated the need to care for our power and water supply to a new level of importance.
Look at some of the “green” travel tips on our other pages—even small efforts pay a large return when practiced by large numbers of people! Try to stay in eco-friendly hotels, fly on “green” airlines, and use the same recycling habits when traveling as you do at home.
Dude, surf’s up! Fore! Watch out for that mogul! Whatever your sport, have green fun!
