Dear MEL Topic Readers,
8 ways to travel more sustainably in 2025
When you travel to a popular tourist destination in high season, you’ll pay high prices for everything and wait in lines to visit or take photos at hotspots. Also, as overtourism is negatively impacting local communities, residents, and the environment, travelers to popular destinations like Barcelona, Venice, and Kyoto aren’t so welcome any longer. In addition, when you fly, drive, and stay, you’ll leave substantial carbon footprints. Isn’t it time to rethink how to plan your travels? Instead of heading for travel hotspots at peak times, you could choose less crowded or popular places in the off-season and experience local cultures. You may take a train rather than flying so that you can enjoy the scenery along the way instead of gazing at your smartphone in a tiny seat on the flight. Also, there is an increasing number of environmentally friendly, sustainable accommodations. How about dedicating some time of your stay to an environmental, cultural, or social activity, such as beach cleanups or habitat restoration? There are many ways to enjoy your travel with less impact on society and the environment.
