What is Sustainable Travel?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


“Sustainable travel” has become a buzz-phrase in the last few years, right along with “responsible tourism.” Neither of them have a very clear definition. They have become coveted keywords on travel sites, and they are pasted here and there without much meaning. Eco travel could indicate kayaking or saving turtles, or, perhaps, a trip to a lodge beside a mountain stream.

Sustainable travel, according to general Internet consensus (currently showcased by Wikipedia), means that we leave a place in better shape than we found it. According to some, sustainable travel also generates employment for local people. And, it’s a “positive experience” for the environment and the culture of the place. It’s different than eco tourism, we’re told, but eco tourism is a subset of sustainable travel.

According to this definition, if you travel somewhere and don’t make any impact at all, it isn’t officially sustainable travel. Strange, right? The word sustainable means to be “able to be maintained at a certain level.” Sustainable ecology means conserving (not necessarily improving) natural resources. Sustainable travel should apply to the tourists who keep the status quo, as well as those who improve the area. It doesn’t seem to.

Sustainable travel is an odd phrase, in the first place, because travel is not sustainable or eco-friendly. Your impact on the environment would be less if you stayed in your hometown and bicycled everywhere. Transportation is bad news for the environment, and travel is too. When a community begins to welcome more tourists, it also opens the door to foreign resorts and an influx of people, litter and sewage. Good-bye sweet little town, good-bye forests and local culture. Hello tourism showdown. Buildings on the beach, resource conflicts and social stress.
